Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
Recessive epistasis: In a cross between fruit flies that are both double heterozygous for modifier gene and coat color, in the total offspring of 192, how many fruit flies have gray- coat, white coat, and black coat? A recessive allele blocks the expression of the coat color of fruit flies. Make a null hypothesis, compute for chi-square and determine if the null hypothesis is accepted or rejected.Show your answer, table, punnet square, and solution.
A certain form of congenital glaucoma is caused by an autosomalrecessive allele. Assume that the mutation rate is 10-5 and that peoplewith this condition produce, on the average, only about 80% of theoffspring produced by people who do not have glaucoma.a. At equilibrium between mutation and selection, what will the frequencyof the gene for congenital glaucoma be?b. What will the frequency of the disease be in a randomly matingpopulation that is at equilibrium?
Chi-square Test In the pea plants use by Gregor Mendel in his study, the purple flower color is dominant over white,and the axial position on a branch is dominant over terminal. A plant believed to be heterozygouswas selfed and produced flowers with the following phenotypes: 23 white terminal68 white axial81 purple terminal187 purple axial a. assign alleles to the different traitspurple __________ axial ___________white ___________ terminal _______ b. refer to the image attached
Consider the following scenario: A man without freckles (freckles are a dominant trait, determined by the dominant allele “F”) is a carrier of cystic fibrosis (recall that CF is a recessive trait, determined by the recessive allele "a"), mates with a woman whose genotype is heterozygous for freckles and is also a carrier of CF. Assume the two genes in question are in different chromosomes and, therefore, assort independently. Complete the following Punnett square to generate the offspring probabilities from this couple, by entering the genotypes of the parents, the gametes, and the offspring for the two traits described above.

according to tongue rolling what is my phenotype and my parents' phenotype from the observed phenotypes? list the possible genotypes for each, and do a Punnett Square for the parents to determine the likelihood of me having gotten my given phenotype and any insights on what your genotype is from the Punnett Square.
You discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae. You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), meaning that heterozygotes have antennae that are intermediate in length. In your laboratory population, 9% of the males have long antennae. Assuming your population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of females would you expect to have intermediate antennae? Answer choices: 0.50 0.90 0.83 0.0081 0.16
1. Suppose you are studying a trait due to three genes that all additively affect the same trait. The genes are A, B, and C. Capital letters symbolize the "phenotype-adding" allele and lower case letters symbolize the "non-adding" allele. (In other words, the behavior of the genes is like those affecting wheat kernel color in the Nilsson-Ehle experiment presented in class). If AaBbCc is testcrossed to aabbcc, how many different phenotypes will be produced in the progeny?
8 Rosettes are the dominant coat type (R) in guinea pigs while smooth coat is recessive (r). Of 1630 guinea pigs observed on an expedition in South America, 1190 have rosettes and 440 present with a smooth coat. a. If this muddle of guinea pigs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the hair coat locus, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?

I've observed varying egg mimic sizes on female fins: large, small, or none. I found that this trait follows Mendelian genetics with a single locus having two alleles: BB (large mimic), Bb (small mimic), and bb (no mimic). During a recent collection trip, we gathered 211 males with large egg mimics, 156 with small mimics, and 28 with no mimics. Is the locus in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and what's the expected frequency of the small egg mimic phenotype in this population? 1.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.07 2.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.39 3.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.53 4.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.20 5.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 1.0
