In cloning experiments on the frog xenopus laevis, nuclei were removed from intestinal cells of tadpoles and transplanted into zygotes whose nuclei had been removed. A small percent of these zygotes developed into normal frogs, suggesting that

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. intestinal cells can be transformed into all cell types
  2. frogs do not have the same developmental constraints as other species
  3. intestinal cell nuclei are highly specialized
  4. the genomes of all somatic cells are equivalent

Assume that mating is random. First, consider an autosomal recessive disease that is usually lethal in childhood, and that has an incidence among newborns of 1/3000. What mutation rate would be required to maintain this frequency in the population?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Assume that mating is random. First, consider an autosomal recessive disease that is usually lethal in childhood, and that has an incidence among newborns of 1/3000.  Perhaps the explanation for the incidence of the disease is heterozygote advantage. How large would this heterozygote advantage have to be (assuming the mutation rate is negligible)?

Assume that mating is random. Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait that is found in about 5 percent of males. What fraction of females are heterozygous carriers of the colorblindness allele?
