In research on aging (both cellular aging and organismal aging), it has been found that aged cells do not progress through the cell cycle as they had previously. Which of the following, if found in cells or organisms as they age, would provide evidence that this is related to cell signalling?

  1. Growth factor ligands do not bind as efficiently to receptors.

  2. Hormone concentrations decrease.

  3. cAMP levels change very frequently.

  4. Enzymatic activity declines.

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Estimate q, the frequency of allele a, in Generation 1. Show your calculations.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. In the next generation of 1 million individuals (Generation 2), what are the expected numbers of aa albinos and Aa carriers? (Assume random mating and all other HardyWeinberg conditions.)
