What region of DNA is used to traced your maternal ancestors? What region of DNA is used to trace your paternal ancestors? Describe a haplogroup in your own words.

How do gene frequencies behave in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

The greyhound is a dog breed known for its amazing speed. This breed was produced by taking the fastest animals and breeding them together, generation after generation. Though artificial, this is an example of __________.

By transferring neural crest cells from a duck to a quail and vice versa, Schneider and Helms demonstrated that 

In the founder effect,

Hox Genes Phylogeny.png The figure above shows the number of Hox gene clusters in different groups of animals. What do you notice about the sequence of Hox genes in each cluster? Where do you see a reversal?  Does this make sense to you for the group that it is in? Where do you see the loss of Hox genes? Where do you see duplication of Hox genes

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky granite areas. They recorded substrate color and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 225 mice. Light-colored fur is recessive, and dark-colored fur is dominant. Their data are summarized below.  Collecting Site Substrate Color Number of Mice  Phenotype Light  Dark 1 Light  6 6 0 2   Light 85  80  5 3   Dark 7   0 7 4   Dark 5 0 5  5   Dark  45 3  42 6  Light 77  34   43 Source of data: Hoekstra, Hopi E., Kristen E.

Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on light-colored substrates. Frequency = number of mice of one color/total number of mice.
