In а species оf plаnt, а gene cоdes fоr production of a chemical. The r allele results in chemical production; the R allele does not. rr individuals produce the chemical; RR and Rr individuals do not produce the chemical. The population is currently very large, and about half the individuals in the population produce the chemical, and half do not. Researchers studying the population observe that a species of insect appears to avoid plants that produce the chemical and eat ones that do not. They find that as a result of this, plants that produce the chemical have higher fitness than plants that do not. What is predicted to happen to the plant population under these conditions?
A cоuple is plаnning tо hаve children. They bоth hаve relatives who suffer from a recessive genetic condition. They are concerned that they could both be carriers for this condition and want to find out. They elect to see a genetic counselor and have testing done to find out. The genetic counselor shows them the gel results above. In this gel, the DNA fragments were loaded in the wells at the right side of the gel, where the open rectangles are. These open rectangles are NOT bands of DNA; they are where the DNA fragments were added to the gel. As the gel ran, the fragments moved toward the left end of the gel. The counselor explains the following: R is the dominant allele that does NOT result in the genetic condition.In the test carried out, the R allele results in DNA fragments that are 300 and 500 bp long. r is the recessive allele that does result in the genetic condition in individuals who inherit two copies of it. In the test carried out, the r allele results in DNA fragments that are 800 bp long. The control DNA fragments used in the gel are 100, 200, 300, 500, 700, 800, and 900 bp long. Is either parent a carrier? [a] Could this couple have a child who suffers from the genetic condition? [b]
