Homework Answers
If he had no children then almost none of the population would have color blindness and there would have been a major drop in population.
the population has evolved because one can see the effect of inbreeding in color blindness and due to its small size and isolated nature it has a higher frequency of achromatopsia.
Inbreeding will only change the genotype frequencies not the allelic frequencies.

A color-blind woman marries a man who is not color-blind and they have six children ( 3 boys and 3 girls) All of the sons and none of the daughters are color blind. a. What does this tell you about the color blind allele? b. Draw the pedigree of this family, using correct symbols and all of the genotypes you can determine with certainty. c. One of the daughters marries a man who can see color. State the phenotypic and...

In a population of gorillas scientists sample the tyrosinase gene (tyr). The tyr+ allele results in normal pigmentation in both heterozygotes and homozygotes. The tyr- allele is recessive and results in albino homozygotes. DNA sampling indicates that the frequency of tyr+ is 0.9 and tyr- is 0.1. Pedigree studies indicate that the inbreeding coefficient is 0.3 in this population. What proportion of the population should be albino? How does this compare to expected frequency of albinos with the same allele frequencies but no inbreeding? If...

11. A boy, whose parents and grandparents had normal vision, is color-blind. What are the genotypes for his mother and his maternal grandparents? Use XB for the dominant normal condition and Xb for the recessive, color-blind phenotype 12. In humans, sickle cell anemia is a disease caused by a mutation of a single locus gene which codes for an important blood protein. The allele for the normal protein (S) is dominant to that for the one causing sickle cell anemia....

B All of their children will have normal vision. C All male children will be color blind. D They will only have female children.

What is the chance that their first child will be a colorblind son? A colorblind daughter? b.) If they have four children, what is the chance that two will be colorblind sons? 2、 The Brown's are both carriers of the recessive allele that causes the metabolic disorder called phenylketonuria.

In a population of jaguars, a gene with two alleles encodes the fur color. Allele B causes melanism (dark fur) and is dominant over allele b, which results in light colored fur. There has been a rare immigration event into a population of jaguars under study, resulting in the following genotype frequencies: 60% BB, 20% Bb and 20% bb individuals. If we assume HardyWeinberg equilibrium for future generations, what would be the genotype frequencies after 5 generations?

Red-green color blindness is due to an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A widow's peak (a hairline that comes to a peak in the middle of the forehead) is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Consider the following family history: A man with a widow's peak and normal color vision marries a color-blind woman with a straight hairline. The man's father had a straight hairline, as did both of the woman's parents. Use the family history to make predictions about...
