A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and t<span>he frequency of i allele is 0.5.
</span>
If:
$I^{A}$ - <span>the frequency of IA allele
</span> $I^{B}$ - <span>the frequency of IB allele
</span> $i$ - t<span>he frequency of i allele

Then:
</span> $I^{A} I^{A}$ + <span> $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
</span> $I^{B} I^{B}$ + <span> $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
</span> $ii$ <span>- the frequency of individuals with O blood type
</span>
Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

<span>Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ <span> allele, we will use the formula:
</span> $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

<span>Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
<span>⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$
</span>

b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.

Speculate as to how the information obtained from the sequencing of the human genome might be used to someday eliminate inborn e

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.
