Assume that the mutation rate for a given gene is
510-6 mutations per gene per generation. For that gene how many
mutations would be expected if 10 million sperm are examined?
A) none
B) 510-6
C) 5
D) 50
E) 500
Homework Answers
Mutation rates is the frequency of new mutations in a single gene or organism. If 10 million sperms are examined the mutations would be around 500.

Question 1: In an infinitely large, diploid, random-mating population, we observe the frequency of nonsense mutations is equal to 10 in a gene. A) If we assume the nonsense mutations cause complete infertility and are completely dominant, what is the nonsense mutation rate per gene per generation? (2 points) B) If we assume the nonsense mutations cause complete infertility but are complete recessive, what is the nonsense mutation rate? (2 points)

Elizabeth, age 27, had heard about the discovery of the gene and
about the mutation linked to Jewish women. Her paternal grandmother
had been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 51 and died two years
later, and Elizabeth worried that she may have inherited a variant
that would put her at increased risk.
She also worried about her mother, age 52 and apparently
cancer-free so far, and her 7- year old daughter.
Her daughter is not allowed to participate in...
What is the equilibrium frequency of a recessive gene arising with a mutation rate of 4×10−6...
What is the equilibrium frequency of a recessive gene arising with a mutation rate of 4×10−6 and a reproductive fitness in homozygotes of 0.8? What would it be if the gene were partially recessive with h = 0.05? How different are these two equilibrium frequencies? Explain the difference. Calculate and compare the genetic loads under these two conditions (use the full equation for ¯w).

Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...
