Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph

ysical reaction to the changing lunar cycle. Most cases of lycanthropy are due to spontaneous new mutations in the gametes of normal individuals. These new cases are due to a spontaneous mutation that occurs in paternal gametes, as opposed to maternal gametes. Additionally, the likelihood of this mutation occurring increases as the father ages. Which of the following statements represent a related hypothesis for these findings?
a) Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.
b) The average somatic mutation rate is higher in males than in females, therefore sperm have more mutations than eggs.
c) The mutation for lycanthropy may confer a benefit to the sperm, increasing the chance of survival when compared to a normal sperm.
d) The gene involved in lycanthropy may be in a mutational hotspot.

vlada-n [2515]

Answer:

The correct response is to elevate the rate of cellular respiration within mitochondria.

Explanation:

In mammals such as humans, infections can lead to an increase in body temperature by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. This rise in temperature is the result of thermoregulation tactics controlled by the host’s hypothalamus, which communicates through integrated signals from the immune system and hormones, thereby initiating a rise in metabolic processes due to enhanced cellular respiration in mitochondria, resulting in elevated body temperature. Mitochondria produce energy as ATP, contributing to body temperature as it’s part of an exothermic process.

The correct response is to elevate the rate of cellular respiration within mitochondria.

In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-
Tresset [2298]

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The phenotype for dominant tasters is 1482.

The phenotype for recessive tasters = 2400 – 1482 = 918.

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918.

The frequency of the recessive phenotype = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

The frequency of the recessive allele q = √0.38 = 0.62.

For the dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38.

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 × 0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47.

The number of heterozygous individuals within the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the result is 1128.
