en see a higher prevalence of some rare diseases in these new founder populations? When a small number of individuals moved to the United States from Germany, they established an Amish population. Why do you often see a higher prevalence of some rare diseases in these new founder populations? Higher mutation rate in the new population. Alleles that are rare in the ancestral population (Germany) become common in the new population by random chance. Natural selection favors disease causing mutations in the new population. Negative assortative mating in the new population.

Answer:

Alleles that are rare in the ancestral population (Germany) become common in the new population by random chance.

Explanation:

The founder effect is the change in the allele frequencies of a population by a chance event when a small group of individuals migrate from the large original population and colonize a new region. The gene pool of the Amish population is quite different from the original population as the colonizing individuals did not carry all the alleles and genes present in the original population.

The founder effect results in the expression of harmful recessive alleles that were otherwise masked in the heterozygous genotype of the original large population. Small colonizing population exhibits increased homozygosity and reduced genetic variations leading to the expression of rare diseases that were masked by heterozygosity in the large parent population.

In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE INHERITANCE:

<span>5.  In Andalusian fowl, B is the gene for black plumage (head feathers) and B' (pronounced "B prime") is the gene for white plumage.  These genes, however, show incomplete dominance.  The heterozygous (BB') condition results in blue plumage.  List the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from the following crosses:  a) black x blue  b) blue x blue  c) blue x white</span>

<span>6. </span><span>In snapdragons, petal color is determined by a single gene locus with two alleles making the "red" allele (R) incompletely dominant to the "white" allele (r).  Heterozygotes have petals, which are neither red nor white, but pink.  a) If a true-breeding red flower is pollinated with pollen from a white flower: What fraction of the seeds (F1 generation) would be expected to produce red-flowered plants?  What fraction of the gametes produced by the F1 plants would be expected to bear the R allele?  b) If two pink flowered plants are crossed, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected among the offspring (F1 generation)?</span>

A student is developing a model to show how proteins are synthesized in animal cells. Which organelles should the student includ
Montano1993 [528]

He must include A. Ribosomes, B. Endoplasmic reticulum and C. Golgi apparatus organelles in the model.

The ribosomes are organelles that are responsible for protein translation and are composed of rRNA and proteins. The rough endoplasmic recticulum synthesizes the protiens and the Golgi apparatus collects and dispatches protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic recticulum are transported into vesicles, which then fuse with the Golgi apparatus and further transported to their destination.
