Wild type E. coli metabolizes the sugar lactose by expressing the enzyme ß-galactosidase. You have isolated a mutant that you call lac1–, which cannot synthesize ß-galactosidase and cannot grow on lactose (Lac–). During an condition you have a wild type (Lac+) strain carrying a Tn5 insertion known to be near several Lac genes on the E. coli chromosome. You grow P1 phage on this strain and use the resulting phage lysate to infect the lac1– strain, selecting for kanamycin resistance (Kanr). Among 100 Kanr transductants, you find that 82 are Lac– and 18 are Lac+. Express the distance between Tn5 and the lac1– mutation as a cotransduction frequency;

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?

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 carries. If the Generation 1 follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
a) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to P2
b) there were 500 albino individuals in generation one.
c) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to q2
d) there were 25 albino individuals in generation one.
Which of the following is the correct prediction about the hardy-weingburg equilibrium?
