The frequencies of two allele’s p and q for a gene locus in a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. After a few generations of inbreeding, the heterozygote frequency was found to be 0.10, The inbreeding coefficient in this case is

Calculate the number of times the DNA of a modern E. coli cell has been copied accurately since its earliest bacterial precursor cell arose about 3.5 billion years ago. Assume for simplicity that over this time period, E. coli has undergone, on average, one cell division every 12 hours (this is an overestimate for modern bacteria, but probably an underestimate for ancient bacteria).

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. Has the frequency of allele a changed between Generations 1 and 2?

DNA replication is studied in a newly discovered bacterium. It takes 30 min for the bacterium to complete a round of replication at 37oC. A Meselson-Stahl-type experiment was performed. The bacteria were grown for several generations in 14N-medium and then switched to 15N-medium. The DNA molecules were then analyzed.

If the mechanism of DNA replication in this bacterium were semi-conservative, what results would be found when the double-stranded DNA was analyzed in a CsCl density gradient after three generations in 15N-medium?
