What is an MRCA?

Grandparents 

the most recent individual (or couple) from whom two or more people are directly descended

100

A _______ has a greater effect on genetic mapping and occurs more frequently, whereas a ___________ has a more significant impact on altering the specific arrangement of alleles (producing a "cleaner" rearrangement) but is much rarer due to biological interference.

single crossover

double crossover


100

(CA)ₙ → CACACACACACA

(GATA)ₙ → GATAGATAGATA

These are examples of.....

200

a hierarchical clustering algorithm used to build rooted phylogenetic trees based on a distance matrix, assuming a constant rate of evolution (molecular clock)

UPGMA logic

200

Name the type of rearrangement: 

1) both dominant (or wild-type) alleles are located on the same chromosome, and both recessive (or mutant) alleles are on the other chromosome

2) each chromosome carries one dominant and one recessive allele

1) Cis 

2) trans 

200

different forms of the same enzyme that are encoded by different alleles of the same gene within a species they: ( detected by electrophoresis) 

Allozymes

200

a tool that Scans the entire genome for SNPs associated with a trait, Compares cases vs controls, Identifies statistical associations, not causal mutations

GAWS

300

If the "top" strand of DNA is

 5'- A G C T T A - 3', what is the first codon of Frame -1?

Comp. = 3’-TCGAAT-5’

       Rev. =  5’-TAAGCT-3’ 

       Since -1 start coding = TAA

300

This is lining up DNA (or protein) sequences so that homologous positions are in the same column. 

Ex) Species 2: ATGGACTA

      Species 1: ??????
