Question

3) (6 point question) The following figure is from a recent paper that documented the frequency of different alleles of the X-linked opsin genes in the bald uakaris. The allele:s are categorized by the peak of the absorption spectrum for each rhodopsin. 0.600- 0.400 0.200 0 35 543 550 555 556 562 allele Figure from http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/283/1828/20160067 A) (2 points) What mutational mechanism explains the distinct wavelengths that are seen in this figure? B) (2 points) It is unusual to have so many different alleles in the population, what selection mechanism might allow all these alleles to be quite common in the uakaris population? hiowe ate coma m C) (2 points) In humans the mutation rate at the LM locus is much higher than at the S locus. What might explain this higher rate of mutation?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

What mutational mechanisms explains the distinct wavelengths that are seen in this figure

It is unusal to have so many different alleles in the populaiton, what selection mechanisms might allow these alleles to be quite common in the uakaris population?
