When a gene pool changes from generation to generation, this process is called - ANS
✔✔evolution
Darwinian fitness - ANS ✔✔The relative reproductive success of a genotype
Genetic drift depends on - ANS ✔✔population size and random sampling error
In a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the percentage of individuals exhibiting a
recessive disorder is 4%, which is the same as 0.04. What is the frequency of heterozygotes? -
ANS ✔✔0.32
Which of the following is a factor that does not promote widespread changes in allele or
genotype frequencies? - ANS ✔✔New mutation
inbreeding coefficient - ANS ✔✔0.0039
In negative-frequency dependent selection, the rarest phenotype has the highest fitness. This
scenario is likely to result in - ANS ✔✔balancing selection
Which of the following types of genetic drift involve the migration of a population from one
location to another? - ANS ✔✔the founder effect
Within a particular population, darkly colored rats are more likely to survive than more lightly
colored individuals. This scenario is likely to result in - ANS ✔✔directional selection
, Which of the following would promote polymorphism? - ANS ✔✔negative frequency-
dependent selection and heterozygote advantage
The purpose of chromatin immunoprecipitation is to determine - ANS ✔✔if a protein binds to a
particular region of DNA.
The alpha-globin gene in humans and alpha-globin gene in mice can be described as - ANS
✔✔homologs and orthologs
The goal of using the BLAST program is to - ANS ✔✔identify genes in a database that are
homologous to the query sequence.
Which of the following would not be consistent with the idea that a human disease has a
genetic component? - ANS ✔✔It is less likely to occur in relatives living apart than in relatives
living together.
Which of the following could convert a protooncogene into an oncogene? - ANS ✔✔a missense
