1. In humans, very few tumor supressor genes undergo genomic imprinting (that is, are expressed from only one allele). Why do you think that might be the case?
2. Imagine that ebola has a 0.003% incidence in the population. A test for the virus has a 0.002% false positive rate and no false negative rate (false positive rate means the chance that if an uninfected individual takes the test the test will falsely identify them as infected). If a random person takes the test and gets a positive result, what is the chance that they are infected? (Show your work)
