Predicting and Detecting Variation
For dom/rec traits, which is only genotype you know for certain based on
phenotype?
HW developed a useful predictive equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
Let’s say you want to predict the # carriers of a new recessive disease allele.
Math Calisthenics II
Epidemiology Data from Monmouth
aa = 1600/10,000
Calculate p
Calculate q Calculate p2 & 2pq
Let’s say you want to predict the # carriers of a new recessive disease allele.
Math Calisthenics II
Epidemiology Data from Monmouth
aa = 1600/10,000
Calculate p
Calculate q
q2 = 1600/10,000
= 0.16
= 0.4 = q
Calculate p2 & 2pq
Let’s say you want to predict the # carriers of a new recessive disease allele.
Math Calisthenics II
Epidemiology Data from Monmouth
aa = 1600/10,000
Calculate pp + q = 1… SO
1 - 0.4 = p0.6 = p
Calculate q
q2 = 1600/10,000
= 0.16
= 0.4 = q
Calculate p2 & 2pq
Let’s say you want to predict the # carriers of a new recessive disease allele.
Math Calisthenics II
Epidemiology Data from Monmouth
aa = 1600/10,000
Calculate pp + q = 1… SO
1 - 0.4 = p0.6 = p
Calculate q
q2 = 1600/10,000
= 0.16
= 0.4 = q
Calculate p2 & 2pq
p2 = (0.6)(0.6) = 0.36
2pq = 2(0.6)(0.4)
= 0.48
Check Work! Does p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1?What does this data mean???
Lab: Aside from disease/carrier status, why is knowing heterozygosity important?
Many alleles display
polymorphisms detectable at
DNA OR PROTEIN
LEVEL
Now consider sickle cell polymorphism…
Prokaryotes make protective nucleases called RESTRICTION ENZYMES (20.1-2)
e.g. DdeI cuts CTTAG - distinguishes hemoglobin alleles (Fig. 20.9)
In lab, you will explore protein gels of enzyme complexes to predict genotypes.
Consider that some enzymes are made of single proteins - MONOMERS
Hom/Dom Hom/Rec Het/Dom
1 BAND 1 BAND 2 BANDS
Others are made of multiple proteins - e.g. DIMERS, 2 FOLDED CHAINS
Hom/Dom Hom/Rec Het/Dom
1 BAND 1 BAND 3 BANDS
