Passenger mutation is known to accumulate in cancer cells but has no direct contribution to the cancer phenotype

<h3>What is Passenger Mutation ?</h3>

Passenger mutations are not ones that don't affect fitness but were discovered in a cell that also happened to have or later acquired a driver mutation. As a result, they are present in every cell that also carries the driver mutation. However, in order to assess the relevance of the mutational data and put them into the context of current clinical and experimental cancer research, new, quantitative models are required. It is thought that only a tiny portion of the overall mutations in a tumour are driver mutations. One approach for distinguishing driver mutations from passenger mutations is to predict the functional impact of a mutation using additional biological information about the sequence and/or structure of the protein encoded by the mutated gene.

Dr. Coyne describes an experiment in which dark mice have a higher survival rate than light mice on dark soil when owls are pres
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies in a population remain constant given that there is no evolutionary force acting on the population. In the given case the situation is not ideal since the owls are acting like an evolutionary force for the mice population.

Darker mice will be able to camouflage better in dark soil and hence will be less targeted by the owls. As a result lighter coloured mice will decrease in numbers which will eventually increase the frequency of dark allele in the population, violating the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

What is the frequency of the white allele (cw ) in this population?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Considering that the population of white flowers in which the frequency of red allele CR is p= 0.7, then the frequency of the white allele (CW) in the population will be p=0.3. This is because the population contains white allele and the red allele therefore the two should add up to 1. Allele is the alternative form of a gene that codes for a specific trait.
