Effective population size (Ne) = 1000
Probability of new neutral mutant to fix in the population, p = 1/2Ne = 1/2 x1000 = 1/2000.
New mutant fixation in a population probability = 1/2000 = 0.0005
probability in percentage = 0.0005 x 100 = 0.05 %

n a new generation of offspring, a new neutral mutant appears in a population of size 50. In other words, in this new generation, there are 49 wild-types and 1 new neutral mutant. Using the methods we learned for the Wright-Fisher model, what is the probability that this new mutant mediatelydisappears and is absent in the folowing generation? 7.

mutant (petite #3), the nuclear mutation in the segregational petite mutant will segregate in a 22 ratio. Since neutral petites lack mitochondrial DNA, all of the mitochondria in the offspring will come from the segregational petite parent. Thus, half of the offspring will be wild type and half will be mutant Part C Several isolated haploid petite mutants and wild-type cells were mated with each other on complete media to form diploid cells. The diploid cells were then starved so...

Imagine there is a co-dominant deleterious new mutation that arises in a population of size 1,000 diploid individuals. This mutation reduces fitness by 0.001 (s=0.001) in the heterozygous state. What is the probability that this mutation will become fixed in the population?

Genetics - Question 3 Defining heterozygosity, H, as the probability that two sequences randomly sampled from a population are different, for a diploid species with a population size of N = 1000 individuals and initial heterozygosity H0 = 0.5 ; a neutral mutation rate of u = 10-9, What is the rate of substitution with the above mutation rate? Explain. [5 marks] If, for beneficial mutation A1 the selection coefficient is s = 0.01, what is the probability of substitution...

Question 1: Antibiotics are effective against a population of bacteria. However, you observe a new resistance allele arises in the bacteria population. You observe the fitness of the mutant is 1% higher than the wild type and the population size (N) of the bacteria is 106. A) How long does it take for the resistance allele to reach fixation? Hint: The fixation time is defined as the time from a single copy of the resistance allele (1/N) to near fixation...

Question1 2 pts A population of ferrets with a neutral allele F governing coat color. F shows incomplete dominance such that FF ferrets are black, Ff ferrets are grey, and ff ferrets are white. They migrate from the mainland, where the F allele is at an abundance of 50%, to three islands. These islands differ in size one small, one medium-sized, and one large. The larger islands can support more ferrets. A stable population of 50 ferrets lives on the...

In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...
