(5) (15 pts) FIS and FST (a) A SNP on human chromosome 2 (rs4988235) has the following allele frequencies in 4 human populations:

0.590 in Finland

0.080 in Italy

0.000 in Yoruba

0.000 in Japan Given these data, compute FST for this SNP. (b) Another SNP on human chromosome 6 (rs4707151) has the following allele frequencies in 4 human populations:

0.323 in Finland

0.384 in Italy

0.229 in Yoruba

0.087 in Japan Given these data, compute FST for this SNP. (c) Based on the values of FST computed above, which SNP do you think is under natural selection in Northern Europe? Why?

Expert Solution

Fst quantifies the variable proportion attributable to inter-population differentiation. Fst measures population subdivision, which is interpreted as the combined effect of reduced gene flow and gene drift.

For SNP chromosome 2: Fst = 0.781

For SNP chromosome 6: Fst = 0426

Fst varies between 0 (the populations cross freely) and 1 (that all genetic variation is explained by population structure, and that the populations do not share any genetic diversity.) So, as Fst is lower in SNP of chromosome 6, we can conclude that this is the alele more exposed to natural selection.

Question 2 (5 pts). In roses, two gene loci on an autosomal chromosome are 30cM from each other. At locus 1, the E allele for red flower color is completely dominant to the e allele for pink flower color. At locus 2, the G allele for thorns is completely dominant to allele g for thornless. A particular rose cultivar, true-breeding for red flower and thorns, is crossed to cultivar 2, true-breeding for pink flowers and thornless. The F1 generation is...

15 pts (3 pts for each answer 1 through 5) Nissan Motors has been producing a particular ignition box for its car engines. The Fabrication Department of the company has a monthly demand of 500 ignition boxes (Part #37822) with a weekly standard deviation of 80. The leadtime for this part is two weeks. For the purposes of this problem, you may assume that each month is exactly 4 weeks long. Nissan requires a 97% service level for this item....
