1. (Covering part 1 of the lecture slides)

Consider the subset A of natural numbers, defined by A={ all natural numbers n : n is congruent to 1 (mod 3) }

First consider G: N -------> {0,1} to be the characteristic function of A.

a) Determine G(23) and G(25)

b) determine which sequence of 0,1 is this set associated with. (Write about 9 terms of it, or describe it with a formula.)

c) Which real number in the interval (0,1) in base 2 is associated with this set?

(1) (26 pts) In lecture we talked about how demographic forces and natural selection can affect patterns of polymorphism (i.e. genetic variation within species). (a) Describe 2 patterns in genetic variation data (e.g. polymorphism data) that can be caused by balancing selection. (b) List three ways a bottleneck can affect genetic variation. (c) Describe 2 approaches one can use to distinguish bottlenecks from selection scenarios at generating the pattern in the data.
