Question
1. Let us imagine that we have a population of mountain goats. The goats are either dark or light colored. We have sequenced one of the genes involved in coloration and found the following variation (note C indicates the individual was homozygous for the Callele, C/T indicates the individual was heterozygous). Syn synonymous non no synonymous. Position in gene 869 Individual Phenotype 90 1107 1339 1422 1470 Don syn Syn. dark ANG ACC dark ANC ANC dark ACC CIT ACC ght ght light a. Which site is most likely to be responsible for the difference in color? b. Is dark dominant or recessive?Explanation / Answer
a)The site responsible for difference in color is 1470 position in the gene with continour A/C causing change of colors now.
b)The dark is dominiant because a cross of light and dark makes dark dominant which happens here.
c)Frequency of dark tends to decline because dark is dominant and every rise leads to a fall.
d)Frequency of dark oscillates because position in genes from C/T to G/T.Then it moves from G/T to C/T and finally from C/T TO A/C/It keeps moving above and down and keeps oscilating.
