One of the deadliest animals on earth is the rough skinned newt. It produces highly toxic skin toxins. In the 1970s, three hunters were found dead while camping in Western Oregon when they accidentally boiled a rough skinned newt in their coffee pot. Scientists discovered that they were becoming more toxic due to a common predator: the garter snake. As garter snakes were growing more immune to their toxins, rough skinned newts were growing more toxic in what is known as an “evolutionary arms race”. Though the genes for the garter snake immunity are most likely polygenic, however, let us assume that the immunity is caused by a single dominant allele for this exercise. Those without the dominant gene (the recessive genotype), are NOT immune to the toxins of the rough skinned newt.

In 1975, in a population of 88 garter snakes on the coast of Oregon, 54 of them exhibit the recessive genotype are therefore not immune to the rough skinned newt’s toxin.

What is the frequency for the recessive genotype (q^2)?

Solve for q:

Solve for p:

Interpret the model. a three-part model with black right-arrows between the parts. left part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. a small blue apple-slice shape sits above the left indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. a small purple apple-slice shape and arrow sit above the right indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. middle part: a large green apple-shaped component with a square indentation centered on top. sitting in the left side of the indentation is a blue apple-slice shape with a flat bottom, fused to a purple apple-slice shape with a flat bottom on the right side of the indentation. right part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. an up-arrow is centered above the indentation pointing to a fused blue and purple apple-slice-shaped flat-bottom component sitting above the indentation. assigne "true" or "false" to the end of each statement. the model shows a shape change occurring in the enzyme after the substrate is bound in the active site. t/fthere are two products in this model. t? f there are three substrates in this model. t/f the model shows two different enzymes. t/f
