A researcher sequences 5 individuals from a population with an effective population size of 15,000 individuals. The total mutation rate for the sequenced region is 4x10^-5 per generation. Assuming a standard coalescence model and infinite sites mutation, how many SNPs should the researcher expect to find in the data? Number of generations or time is not required to answer the question as it is not a variable. Using, an equation from the Fisher-Wright model, not a simulation
Total no of mutations possible =( no of individuals/ total population ) * mutation rate
=(5/15000)×5×10^-5
=1.6 ×10^-8

5.) Now suppose that n individuals are sampled at random from a haploid population of size N in which reproduction is governed by the Wright-Fisher model and mutation is governed by the infinite sites model. Let S denote the number of segregating sites in the sample. Calculate EIS] Hint: Let Sk be the expected number of mutations that occur on the tree during the period when there are k branches in the tree. Then S- S2 Sm

Question 3 [20 marks] Defining heterozygosity, H, as the probability that two sequences randomly sampled from a population are different, for a diploid species with a population size of N = 1000 individuals and initial heterozygosity H0 = 0.5 What will the heterozygosity be after 100 generations? [3 marks] How many generations will it take to reduce the heterozygosity by half? [3 marks] With a neutral mutation rate of u = 10-9, what is the equilibrium value of heterozygosity? [3...

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?
1b) What is this name...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
