What was Hayes' main conclusion about conjugation following his experiments in 1953?

That only one of the bacterial strains serves as the recipient of genetic material

A phage can acquire bacterial genes through imprecise excision. An F factor that acquires chromosomal genes through a similar mechanism will produce what?

The F' cell

What best describes the most common fate of an F- bacterium after conjugation with an Hfr bacterium?

The F- bacterium remains F- but might also undergo a phenotypic change resulting from recombination.

The individuals of this population mate randomly and never move (i.e., there is no migration into or out of the population), and mutation also does not occur. Each couple has two children and the parents die after having their second child, so the population size does not change. Answer the questions about this population after the parents have had both children and are dead. Which is true about the next generation of this population?

The allele frequencies will remain the same as they were in the parent population.

What must be true for an F- cell to be converted to an Hfr cell?

The entire integrated F factor of the Hfr cell must be transferred

Transformation can be used to map bacterial genes. You obtain a donor bacterium with the wildtype genes r+, s+, and t+. You extract DNA from this population of donor bacteria and break this DNA up into fragments. You use these fragments to transform recipient bacteria that have mutant genes at all three loci. Here is the data that shows the transformed cell genotypes for recipient bacteria. Based on the data above, determine which two genes are located farthest apart from each other. Transformed cell genotypes r s t+ r s+ t r s+ t+ r+ s t+ r+ s t

The genes r and s

The leu marker is co-transduced with an azi 50% of the time; the leu marker is co-transduced with thr 2% of the time. What must be true?

The leu and azi markers must be located closer together on the bacterial chromosome than the leu and thr markers

Red green color blindness is a human X linked recessive disorder. The normal allele, XB, is dominant to the mutant allele, Xb. Jill has normal color vision, but her father is color blind. Jill marries Tom, who also has normal color vision. Jill and Tom have a daughter who has Turner syndrome and is color blind. How and from whom did the daughter inherit color blindness?

an ovum carrying Xb followed by fertilization by sperm from a paternal nondisjunction event

An Hfr bacterial strain with a genotype of amps, gal+, leu+, cys+, thr+ was used in an interrupted mating experiment with an F- bacterial strain with genotype ampr, gal-, leu-, cys-, thr-. At regular intervals, the mating was interrupted and bacteria were selected with ampicillin and tested for the transfer of Hfr alleles into the F- bacteria. The time required to transfer the donor genes is shown in the table. What is the order of genes on the Hfr donor chromosome?

both leu gal thr cys and cys thr gal leu are correct Gene transferred Time cys 3 min thr 6 min gal 10 min leu 12 min

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. Homozygous recessive individuals lack a key enzyme called hexosaminidase A, which presents as progressive mental and motor deterioration until death occurs around age 5. Heterozygous individuals, called Tay-Sachs carriers, develop no symptoms of the disease. Tay-Sachs disease was historically more prevalent within populations of Ashkenazi Jews, Pennsylvania Dutch, southern Louisiana Cajuns, and eastern Quebec French Canadians. Today, individuals descended from these populations are more likely to be Tay-Sachs carriers, but genetic testing within these populations has largely eliminated the occurrence of Tay-Sachs disease. For a randomly mating population, calculate the Tay-Sachs carrier frequency to three decimal points if 1 in 3600 individuals develops Tay-Sachs disease.

carrier frequency: 0.033

Suppose the human trait for dimples is controlled by a simple dominant and recessive relationship at one locus. Dimples, D, is the dominant allele, and a lack of dimples, d, is the recessive allele. In a college genetics class, the professor takes a tally of students who have dimples and of students with a lack of dimples. In this class of 117117 students, 3737 have dimples. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele, D, and the heterozygous genotype, Dd. Express the frequencies in decimal form rounded to the nearest thousandth. Assume the class is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this trait.

Simulations were run on a population with an effective population (Ne) size of 1000 and15, respectively, to simulate the change in allele frequencies over time. Ten runs were simulated across 100 generations for each population. The beginning frequencies for each allele were set at 0.50. The graphs show only the wildtype allele.Compare the graphs and determine which evolutionary force is occurring in the population of 15 Ne individuals and not in the population of 1000 Ne indviduals.

A generalized transduction experiment is set up so that a phage is carrying a donor strain with the genotype met+ bio+ thr+. This donor strain is used to transduce a recipient E. coli strain with the genotype met− bio− thr−. After transduction, the recipient population is plated on a minimal medium containing only organic salts and a simple carbon source supplemented with methionine and biotin. A large number of colonies are obtained. The wild type genes indicate the bacteria do not need a supplemented minimal medium in order to grow. Any bacteria with mutant genes will require a supplement of methionine, biotin, or threonine to grow. The use of minimal medium without all the required nutrients is a type of marker selection. Marker selection utilizes the inability of some bacteria with mutant genotypes to grow on minimal medium by creating a medium that only select bacteria can grow on. Select the possible genotypes of the colonies that grew on this medium.

met+ bio+ thr+ and- met− bio− thr+

You have isolated two mutations that affect plaque morphology in phages (y and z). You conduct a genetic cross between the two phage strains by co-infecting bacteria with a wild-type strain and a strain that carries both the mutations y and z.

In a species of bird, the allele for the striped trait is recessive to the allele for the speckled trait. Suppose that a coastal bird population has a striped phenotype frequency of 0.390.39 and an inland population has a striped phenotype frequency of 0.16.0.16. The two populations are isolated and in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Let 𝑞coastal represent the allele frequency of the coastal population and 𝑞inland represent the allele frequency of the inland population. After an exceptionally rainy spring, there is no longer a barrier between the populations, and some individuals migrate inland from the coast. Consequently, 10%10% of individuals in the new inland population are originally from the coastal population. Calculate the striped allele frequency for the inland population after migration, 𝑞combined. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
