A tropical medicine specialist studies malaria resistance in two countries. The scientist finds an allele of a particular gene t

hat results in malaria resistance when heterozygous. The allele is at very high frequency in both countries. Oddly, in one country there is very high linkage disequilibrium with nearby genes, while in the other country there is linkage equilibrium. What might explain these findings

Answer:

Population structure due to the geographic distances that separate both countries

Explanation:

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) can be defined as a non-random association between different alleles (<em>loci</em>) observed in a population. The <em>loci</em> are in LD due to the observed frequencies are statistically higher or lower than it is expected if these nucleotide sequences were independent. LD may be due to different factors which include non-random mating, recombination, genetic drift and population structure.

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.

Nina [5.8K]
<span>This would be an example of a mutation, because the changing of allele frequencies would be a change within the gene itself, which would be a mutation in the DNA. This is evidenced by the fact that there is now a form of human resistance to malaria, due to changes within human DNA itself.</span>
