The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.
Answer:
1)
- frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.74
- frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26
2)
- frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
- frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87
3)
- q² = 0.74
- p² = 0.02
- 2pq = 0.24
4)
- q² = 0.13
- p² = 0.4
- 2pq = 0.46
5)
The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage
6)
Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.
7)
Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
8)
To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
The choice would be B/2: The average temperature during the summer in Michigan is 79 degrees.
Answer:
yes
