The fugate family, also known as the "blue people of kentucky" have a condition known as methemoglobinemia which prevents hemoglobin from carrying oxygen and makes it difficult for unaffected hemoglobin to release oxygen to body tissues. this condition can be caused by exposure to drugs and chemicals, but can also be inherited, as with the fugates. it causes their skin to be blue and their blood is brownish, due to a lack of oxygen, and is likely to be due to the absence of an enzyme. martin fugate came to kentucky in 1820 and was reported to have been blue. he married elizabeth smith, with a normal complexion, although members of her family and other families in the region were blue. gene flow or migration is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. select the combination of facts that indicate the occurrence of gene flow in the fugate family. i. four of the fugate's seven children had blue complexions. ii. travel in and out of this area was rare in the 1800's, but is more common now. iii. according to doctors, occurrence of the condition is rarely seen anymore. iv. methemoglobinemia at 10-20 percent of hemoglobin can cause blue skin without more serious symptoms. a) i. and iv. b) i. and iii. c) iii. and iv. d) ii. and iii.

Approximately 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. the disease is typically related to mutations to genes (pkd1 and pkd2). pkd genes can be found on chromosome 16. the disease occurs in approximately 1: 800 to 1: 1000 people. here is a hypothetical example. the dominant allele d will cause the development of pkd. the recessive allele is known as d. what genotypes would correspond to suffering from pkd? dd, dd what genotypes would correspond to being normal (not suffering from pkd)? dd consider that 1: 1,000 people have pkd in your population of 325million. consider that pkd is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. show you math for all of the following questions: what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is p? what is q? how many people in your population would have pkd?
