Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
