5) A mutant red coat color allele (Yr) arises in island B and is present in the adult population in a heterozygous individual in the population of 117 adults of year 2000. Yr is recessive to the other alleles at the Y locus. What is the probability (p) that, purely by the action of genetic drift, the allele will rise to fixation (reaching a frequency of 1.0) at some time in the future? (A) 0.0 < p < 0.2 (B) 0.2 < p < 0.4 (C) 0.4 < p < 0.6 (D) 0.6 < p < 0.8 (E) 0.8 < p < 1.05 6) For the same genetic scenario, what if the single red allele arose in the island A and was present by 1990 in a heterozygous individual, one of a population 12 individuals.

1. A sample of 600 individuals from a population is examined for the presence of the HindIII polymorphism in an autsomal Sca gene. There are two alleles of Sca gene, A and a. The results are 14 individuals are AA, 212 are Aa, 374 are aa. Please answer the following questions accordingly? How many alleles are present in the gene pool in the sample population fort he Sca gene? What are the genotype frequencies? What are the frequencies of A and a alleles? What are the expected numbers of the three genotypes, assuming random
2. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (a) is 26%. Using that 26%, calculate the following: A. The frequency of the "aa" genotype. B. The frequency of the "a" allele. C. The frequency of the "A" allele. D. The frequencies of the genotypes "AA" and "Aa." E. The frequencies of the two possible phenotypes if "A" is completely dominant over "a
1. Certain flowers are either red (dominant) or white (rr). 91% of the flowers are red. Using the equations, calculate the frequency of the R allele. First you replace R and r for p and q. Thus we know that q2 = .09, because only the homozygous recessives will be white. *changed away from percentages to work the math more easily* What is the frequency of the R allele in this population? 2.

1. You measure the effects of a single allele (A2) on fitness in two populations of the same plant species, Population X and Population Y. Population X lives at higher altitudes. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population X is 1.21, and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0. Population Y lives at a lower altitude. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population Y is -1.68 and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0 a) Which population is likely to experience faster evolution? Why? b) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population X? c) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population Y? d) Why do you think the average excess of fitness of the A2 allele is different in these two populations?
8) In a population of chimps, a gene that controls the presence or absence of an extra digit on forelimbs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

1. What is the expected time to fixation in generations for a new mutation in a diploid population (like humans) with an effective population size of 50? This new mutation is neutral and has no impact on fitness (e.g. synonymous polymorphism).

vv82 In a randomly breeding population, the frequency of the dominant allele (D) is 0.8. The relative fitness of DD and Dd is 1.0 while dd is 0.4. If you allow one generation of selection against aa, what is the genotypic frequency of dd before selection? A. 0.56 B. 0.64 C. 0.04 D. 0.32
1.) Which statement below is not consistent with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.) Genetic drift is occuring. B.) Random mating is occuring. C.) Population size is large. D.) Migration is not occuring. 2.) Sickel cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Because individuals affected by sickle cell anemia have defective hemoglobin proteins, their blood cannot transport oxygen properly. There appears to be a relationship between the incidence of malaria and sickle cell anemia. Individuals with sickle cell anemia are carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria. Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium and is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes.” If scientists are successful in significantly reducing or eliminating malaria, the best prediction for what will happen to the allele for sickel cell anemia in the population is that it will: A.)not be affected by the elimination by malaria. B.) increase as its selective advantage…
1) In cats, the allele for white fur(W) is completely dominant and will result in cats with all white fur in both the homozygous dominant and heterozygous cases. Suppose you look at 50 cats and notice that none of them are completely white. What's the allele frequency for the white fur allele in this population? 2) In carnations, the allele that makes red pigment (R) in flowers is incompletely dominant. Flowers that are red are homozygous dominant and those are pink are heterozygous. White flowers (r) are the result of the recessive allele. Suppose you look at a field of 100 carnations and notice 42 of the plants produce red flowers, 42 have pink flowers, and 16 produce white flowers. What's the allele frequency for both the red (R) and white (r) alleles?
