Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disease that afflicts approximately 1 in 12 African Americans, meaning that the frequency of ss homozygotes is 0.09. Assuming the African American population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of Ss carriers in this population?
The M and N blood groups are determined by two codominant alleles. In a random sample of 200 persons, 128 were found to belong to group M. Assuming random mating, what is the frequency of the N allele?
A sample of 100 individuals from a population that is dimorphic at the A locus has genotype counts as follows. AA: 30 Aa: 60 aa: 10 a) What are the allele frequencies in the population? b) What are the expected genotype frequencies, if the population were at HardyWeinberg equilibrium? c) Is the proportion of heterozygotes lower or higher than expected at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What deviations from the assumptions of the model would best explain the observed difference?
Applying Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In a population of 100 individuals, 49% are YY. What percentage is expected to be XY?
If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the multiple alleles A+, A and a, whose frequencies are p= 0.60 for A+, q= 0.20 for A, and r = 0.20 for a, what percentage of the population is expected to be heterozygous?
If 1% of a human population has a recessive phenotype, what percentage has the dominate phenotype, assuming a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
While studying the frequency of sickle-cell disease ("sickle cell anemia") in a population living in sub-Saharan Africa, you obtain the following data from a sample of n= 100 people (note that I chose a simpler system for identifying the alleles rather than using "Hb S" for sickle cell allele), which is the actual name and what you used in lab). What is the frequency of the sickle cell allele (b) in the sample below from a human population? Sample Data BB-60 individuals (No sickle cell disease) Bb-30 individuals (No sickle cell disease) bb-10 individuals (Sickle cell disease) 1. 0.25 2. 0.10 3. 0.35 4. 0.60 5. 0.20
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.)
Recall that the alleles for blood groups are A, B, O, and that A and B are each dominant to O, and A and B are codominant (AA and AO= A blood type; BB and BO = B blood type; AB = AB blood type; OO = O blood type). According to the Red Cross, in the US Asian population the alleles frequencies of A, B, an O are 18.8%, 17.6%, and 63.6%, respectively. If a mother and son from this population have blood type AB and the father has blood type B, what is the probability that the father’s genotype is BB?
In a human population, the following data were obtained for numbers of people with each blood type (for 3 alleles, use 3 variables p,q, and r ; Hardy-Weinburg equation becomes (p^2 + q^2 + r^2 +2pq + 2pr + 2qr = 1):Type O – 804Type A – 997Type B – 295Type AB – 177Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Explain.
In a large herd of 5468 sheep, 76 animals have yellow fat, and the rest of the members of the herd have white fat. Yellow fat is inherited as a recessive trait. This herd is assumed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. What are the frequencies of the white and yellow fat alleles in this population? B. Approximately how many sheep with white fat are heterozygous carriers of the yellow allele?
In a given population, 1 out of 400 individuals has cancer caused by a recessive allele g. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected proportion of individuals who are carriers?
