A genetic marker that is used in DNA profiling is D8S1179. It has two polymorphisms with allele sizes 13 and 14. What distinguishes the two alleles found in the human population?
Homework Answers
Answer :)
D8S1179 polymorphism results in a weak amplification from the affected alleles. Therefore, it distinguishes a specific trait within a species. Generally, such polymorphism is found in some individuals of a particular species. Therefore, such polymorphism is crucial for the identification of a species.

Genetic polymorphisms can either be fixed between two human populations, where all members of one population carry a different allele than all members of the second population; or polymorphisms can be shared between two populations, where both alleles are found in both populations. Which type of polymorphism is more common in humans? What effect does migration have on the frequencies of each of these two types of polymorphisms?

Problems – A. George has come to see you as a genetic counselor for advice. George has rare autosomal dominant trait that causes purple-pigmented hair. He has suffered ridicule during school and into adulthood, that George wants to understand the risk of having a child with purple hair. You are an expert in this rare trait that produces purple hair. While the gene that encodes the enzyme to produce the purple hair has not been identified, you have identified a...

In genetics, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are locations in the (human) genome that exhibit variation across the population. SNPs cause the differences we see in traits such as hair color. Each SNP typically has two possible alleles say A and a and each person's genotype at the SNP is either AA, Aa, or aa, where one allele comes from the person's mother and one from the father. Let X be the number of A alleles at a particular SNP, and...

Which of the following statements regarding the Hardy-Weinberg Equation is TRUE? Answers: It can only be used when allele and genotype frequencies remain constant across generations in a population It can only be used when allele and genotype frequencies change across generations in a population It has no assumptions It mathematically shows how recessive alleles in a population decrease over time It reveals when allele frequencies change over time in a population Assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what percentage of individuals in...

2.Two different single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene (rs11212617) are associated with the response to the glucose-lowering drug metformin which is used in treating type 2 diabetes. These alleles vary in frequency among ethnic populations. In a particular South Indian population, the following genotype frequencies were observed. Calculate the frequencies of the A, C1 and C2 alleles in this population. ' Genotype AA AC1 C1C1 AC2 C2C2 C1C2 Frequency 0.49 0.406 0.0841 0.014 0.0001 0.0058 3....

2. Short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) are genetic markers that have multiple alleles per locus in the population. Since there are more than 2 alleles for a STRP, we have to use numbers rather than A/a or +/- to indicate their identities. The following pedigree corresponds to the genotype table below. The order of alleles listed for each genotype does not indicate anything about haplotype (e.g. "1,2" could mean 1 is on the maternal chromosome and 2 is on the...

D) The Worms are undergoing Hardy-wellnberg eqummorum 10.) Comparisons of Neanderthal DNA revealed that there are more similarities to non-African DNA than reference sequences from West Africans. Additionally, scientists found that Neanderthal DNA is as closely related to East Asians as to Europeans. This indicates that interbreeding occurred before human migration further east. What process of population genetics generated these results? A) gene flow B) adaptive evolution C) gene drift D) nonrandom mating 11.) Homozygotes with two sickle-cell alleles are...
