Achondroplastic dwarfism is an inherited condition. In one study, 108 achondroplastic dwarfs produced 27 offspring, while 457 non-dwarf individuals produced 582 children. What is the relative fitness of the achondroplastic dwarf genotype?
Please explain your answer.
Homework Answers
Relative fitness is the ratio of the offspring produced by any each individual of a genotype to the number of offspring produced by the genotype with the highest number of offspring per individual.
Here,
Number of individuals with Achondroplastic dwarfism = 108
Number of Non-dwarf individuals = 457
Number of offspring of non-dwarf individuals = 582
Number of offspring of Achondroplastic dwarf individuals = 27
Reproductive rate of Achondroplastic dwarf individuals
= Number of offspring of Achondroplastic dwarf
individuals/Number of individuals with Achondroplastic
dwarfism
= 27/108 = 0.25
Reproductive rate of non-dwarf individuals
= Number of offspring of non-dwarf individuals/Number of non-dwarf
individuals
= 582/457 = 1.27
Therefore relative fitness of the Achondroplastic dwarf
genotype
= Reproductive rate of Achondroplastic dwarf
individuals/Reproductive rate of non-dwarf individuals
= 0.25/1.27 = 0.196

Although the following scenario is hypothetical, it is based on actual facts. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia. Those with sickle cell anemia do not have enough healthy red blood cells to adequately carry oxygen to all the cells in their body. Normal red blood cells are flexible and round, and can easily move through the blood vessels. However, in...

The Case Study in Cancer Part I Ann is a 27-year-old nurse working at the local hospital in surgery. She had worked hard to move into the specialty, and she was enjoying her career, friends, and family. She and her partner had been living together for about a year, and she was content. As a nurse, Ann knew the importance of doing breast self-exams, and did them regularly. In the shower one morning, she felt a lump she wasn’t familiar...
