Homework Answers
Tay-Sachs is an autosomal recessive disease. In this the heterozygous individuals are exhibiting higher survivability by being more resistant to tuberculosis. Thus in this the heterozygotes are favoured more than the homozygous individuals. THis is otherwise called heterozygous advantage or overdominance. This type of situation is an example of stabilizing selection.

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene that results in progressive deterioration of the nervous system. Affected indivisuals usually die by age 4. Let D represent the wildtype allele and d the disease-causing allele. Because the Tay-Sachs disease allele has been observed at relatively high frequencies in several human populations, it has ocassionally been suggested that this locus may be subject to balancing selection due to heterozygote advantage. Here we will explore...

Use the information presented below to answer questions 6 - 8. Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive hereditary abnormality causing death within the first few years of life in individuals with the genotype tt. These individuals never reach sexual maturity. Individuals with the genotype T do not become diseased. Abnormally shortened fingers (brachyphalangy) are due to the presence of alleles in the heterozygous condition (Bb) located at a different locus. Geneticists observed that brachyphalangy was conveyed by the dominant allele and...
Humans who are born homozygous for the recessive sickle cell allele die of sickle cell anemia,...
Humans who are born homozygous for the recessive sickle cell allele die of sickle cell anemia, while those who are heterozygous are resistant to malaria (see chapter 4 for more information on this balanced polymorphism). 4% of the population of the Congo are homozygous recessive for the sickle cell allele. What percentage of the population is resistant to malaria? Red hair is a result of a recessive mutation at the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). As you learned, about 13% of the...

Question 5: Answer and give explanation In a sample of 400 men, 48 have X-linked color blindness and all the others have normal color vision.

A) 0.1 B) 0.12 C) 0.24 D) 0.48 E) 0.88 In a population, whenever the second most frequent allele of a gene has a frequency greater than 0.01, we refer to the situation as a: A) Genetic...

6.Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes degeneration of nerve tissue in infants. Infants with Tay-Sachs disease develop blindness, paralysis, and die at an early age. The gene for this disorder is located on chromosome 15. Sickle cell anemia is another autosomal recessive disorder. A person who is homozygous recessive for the sickle cell allele will have an abnormal hemoglobin protein which causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape. The misshapen blood cells block capillaries...
