1. In the Serratia marcescens cell, where are the genes located? the gene is located in the Chrasomes cytoplasm 2. In diploid organisms, like humans or mice or pine trees, where are the two copies of a gene located? Are they found together on the same chromosome? the allele are where the two caples of the genes located in the Chromosomes 3. Is it possible to be homozygous for one gene and heterozygous for another? yes. It is possible because of independent assort for genetic ascriment 4. In a rock pocket mouse population of 100 individuals, with each individual represented by one genotype, what are the proportions of the D and d alleles of Mc1r if there are 25 DD, 50 Dd, and 25 dd individuals? 5. If this population moved to a habitat of dark volcanic rock, which genotypes would have the greatest survival success? the genotype wand have the greatest suinival Success DO 6. In this new location, what do you expect to happen to the proportions of D and d alleles? (hint: think in terms of a pie with just two slices; do the slices (proportions) stay the same: each at 50%, or is one slice growing, showing the greater success one of the alleles, like 75%:25%?) 7. Would the d allele eventually be eliminated from the population? Explain this answer. no, because 8. Sketch two bar graphs to show (1) the starting allelic proportions (a bar for D and a bar for d) and (2) your prediction of these proportions after many generations of mice have passed shown by the relative sizes of the two bars (showing a trend is fine, no need for numbers). 9. Sketch two more bar graphs that show the genotype frequency changes in the same way, starting with the proportions provided in #4, this would thus feature three bars per graph DD, Dd, and dd. Is prediction of the genotype frequencies more difficult? Explain your reasoning. 1. In the Serratia marcescens cell, where are the genes located? the gene is located in the Chrasomes cytoplasm 2.
