The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is controlled by the dominant allele T. Individuals who have the allele T find that PTC tastes bitter. Homozygous recessive individuals find that PTC has no taste. In a sample of 320 people, 218 could taste PTC and 102 could not taste PTC.

Please read the scenario below, and then answer the question (in bold) that follows. Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal autosomal recessive disorder in children (usually by age 5) that causes a progressive degeneration of the central nervous system. This disease affects 1 in 3,500 newborns of European Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in the U.S. population. What is the number of carriers in the population? a. 1 person b. 60 persons c. 116 persons d. 3,383 persons e. 3,441 persons
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects 1 in 3 000 newborns with Caucasian background. It causes thick mucus build up in various organs and can cause damages and problems in respiratory and digestive systems. a) What is the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele in the Caucasian population? Show all your work and express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. b) What percentage of the Caucasian population would be carriers for cystic fibrosis? Show all your work and express your answer rounded to two decimal places. c)If two individuals are carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele, what is the probability that they would have a girl without cystic fibrosis? Show all your work (including the Punnett square) and express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
Using the two equations, p + q = 1 and p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, answer the following questions. Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive condition that causes intellectual and physical disabilities, difficulty feeding, and a sweet maple syrup odor to the urine. In Costa Rica, the incidence of MSUD is calculated as approximately 1 in 8,000 newborns. Calculate the allele frequencies for the normal and disease alleles.
PLEASE ANSWER 4 & 5 Below in Figure 1 is a pedigree for a family afflicted by a genetic disorder. In some populations, Cystic fibrosis has an incidence of 1 in 2500 newborns. The carrier frequency calculated from this is 1/25. Analyze the pedigree below assuming the disease is similar to cystic fibrosis in incidence and carrier frequency. However this disease may not have the same type of genetic transmission as cystic fibrosis. What type of genetic transmission is most consistent with the pedigree? Label all the individuals that you can determine, with hypothesized genotypes. Label the individuals that have unknown genotypes with possible genotypes. Assuming her father is known to NOT be a carrier, calculate the probability that IV1 is a carrier for disease. Use the Χ2 test to determine whether your proposed transmission fits this data.
Match the different types of Mendelian genetics with their descriptions. Question 1 options: one allele is dominant to another and there are three possible phenotypes more than one allele is dominant to another allele and the dominant alleles are equally dominant to each other one allele is dominant to another and there are only two possible phenotypes 1. complete dominance 2. incomplete dominance 3. co-dominance
Please answer fast Question 1: A male does not have the symptons of sickle cell disease or Marfans, while his wife has Marfans but shows no symptoms for sickle cell disease, even in an environment of low oxygen conditions. Use the letters S/s for the alleles for sickle cell disease and M/m for the alleles of Marfan. Respectively, what are the genotypes of the man and the woman? Question 2. Using question 1, answer the following: How many gametes, respectively, can the man and the woman each make? What are the genotypes of this couple's potential children? What are the phenotypes of this couple's potential children? What is the ratio of these phenotypes?
A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)
Identify each of the following as an example of allele, genotype,and/or phenotype frequency:A. Approximately 1 in 2500 individuals of Northern Europeandescent is born with cystic fibrosis.B. The percentage of carriers of the sickle cell allele in WestAfrica is approximately 13%.C. The number of new mutations per generation resultingin achondroplasia, a genetic disorder, is approximately5 × 10−5.
Use the following information to respond to the three questions posed below: (1) The proband (affected individual who led to the construction of the pedigree) exhibits the trait. (2) Neither her husband nor her only sibling, an older brother, exhibits the trait. (3) The proband has five children by her current husband. The oldest is a boy, followed by a girl, then another boy, and then identical twin girls. Only the second oldest fails to exhibit the trait. (4) Both parents of the proband show the trait. a. Construct a pedigree of the trait in this family. b. Determine how the trait is inherited (go step by step to examine each possible pattern of inheritance). c. Can you deduce the genotype of the probands husband for this trait?
G = green hair. g = purple hair. One parent is GG. The other parent is Gg. Which statement would be true regarding this information? Group of answer choices There is a 100% chance that their child will have green hair. One parent is green hair and the other has purple hair. Both parents have purple hair. There is a 50% chance their child will have purple hair.
Predict the outcomes of the following situations. genotype of the parents Punnett square genotypic ratio phenotypic ratio conclusion/answer to the question(s) Mr. Dalisay comes from an elite family in the province who desperately wanted to have a boy as his first born child so that his father, Mr. Flavio Dalisay III, would hand over the family sacred relic, the Balaraw of Panday, to him instead of his other brother. There were rumors that Mr. Dalisay arranged for the exchange of the babies in the hospital to secure his heir. Mr. and Mrs. Lizardo received baby #1 and Mr. and Mrs. Dalisay received baby #2. Is this rumor true? Blood typing tests on the parents and the babies showed the following results: Mr. Lizardo: Type A Mr. Dalisay: Type AB Mrs. Lizardo: Type O Mr. Dalisay: Type O Baby #1 (Girl): Type A Baby #2 (Boy): Type O Were the babies switched? How do you know whether they were, or they weren’t?
Directions: Answer each of the following questions using a Punnett Square and the rules of monohybrid crosses. Question(The allele for dimples (D) is dominant to the allele for no dimples (d).

(C)Do a cross to determine all potential dimple genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman.
