The forward and reverse PCR primers used for the amplification of a VNTR locus on chromosome number 4 are 20 bases and 21 bases

long, respectively. The 3’ base of the forward primer is 53 bases away from the first repeat. The 3’ base of the reverse primer is 28 bases away from the first repeat in that direction. Each repeat unit is 60 bases in length. A person has, on one of their number 4 chromosomes, 6 repeats. How long (in bp) should its PCR product be?

The repeats which occur together on a chromosome are referred to as VNTR. The length of each repeat is 60bp.

The first primer is 20bp and is 53 bp away from 1st repeat. Therefore, the total length of sequence amplified by the first primer till 1st repeat = 20+53 = 73bp. Beyond this point 6 repeats on 60 bp are present, hence, the length becomes = 73 + (60X6) = 433bp.

Now the reverse primer which is 21bp in length is located 28bp from the repeat on its side. Reverse primer comes from the opposite direction, so it must be present after the 6 repeats.

The total length of the amplified region = 433 + 28 + 21 = 482 bp.

Answer:

For natural selection to occur, it is true that there must be genetic variation in the population.

Explanation:

According to evolution, natural selection implies the changes that occur in the genotype of a species, due to the effect of environmental factors, and which guarantee its survival through adaptive evolution.

For natural selection to occur, three fundamental conditions must exist:

A trait that can be inherited from one generation to another.

The trait is subject to variability between subjects of the same species.

Genetic variability can determine the possibility of reproductive success and survival.

Therefore, a necessary factor for natural selection to occur is that genetic variability exists in the population.
