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

Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?
The equation p2+ 2pq + q2= 1 representing theHardy-Weinberg proportions examines genes withonly two alleles in a population.a. Derive a similar equation describing the equilibrium proportions of genotypes for a gene withthree alleles. [Hint: Remember that the HardyWeinberg equation can be written as the binomialexpansion (p + q)2.]b. A single gene with three alleles (IA, IB, and i) isresponsible for the ABO blood groups. Individualswith blood type A can be either IA IAor IA i;those with blood type B can be either IB IBor IB i;people with AB blood are IA IB, and type O individuals are ii. Among Armenians, the frequency of IAis0.360, the frequency of IBis 0.104, and the frequencyof i is 0.536. Calculate the frequencies of individuals in this population with the four possible bloodtypes, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.In Problems 15–17, you will see that because matingbetween individuals within populations at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium is random, it is possible to predict…
3. A researcher who has been studying albinism has identified a large group of families with four children in which at least one child shows albinism. None of the parents in this group of families shows albinism. Among the children, the ratio of those without albinism to those with albinism is 1.7: 1. The researcher was surprised because he thought that a 3:1 ratio would be expected on the basis of Mendel’s Principle of Segregation. a. As the research keeps increasing his sample of families with four children and at least one of the children with albinism, will the ratio of non-albino children to albino children converge toward the 3:1 ratio that he expects? Why or why not?b. What explains the non-Mendelian segregation ration in the researcher’s present data set?c. If the researcher expands his sample size to 1000 families of four children with at least one albino child, would you expect his data for non-albino vs. albino children to fit a 3:1 ratio if a chi-square test is done for a…

There are various factors that cause gene pool diversity to change.” A process that does not contribute to gene pool change is A) gene flow B) gene mutation C) random mating D) natural selection 3) “Fourteen species of finches currently inhabit in the Galapagos Islands.

I'm confused about how I would figure out these two questions as I don't really understand the difference or where to start. What would genotypic frequencies be for Wildrose at pt-8 if it were in equilibrium? and How many individuals (to 2 decimal places) of each genotype would there be from Wildrose at pt-8 if it were in equilibrium?
1.)The frequency of the R allele for round seeds in a certain population of 500 peas wasfound to be 0.45. How many of them were wrinkled? How many of them had the rr genotype? How many of them were round? 2.)In humans, a dominant allele controls the formation of a cleft chin, a Y-shaped fissurein the chin caused by an atypical bone formation in the mandible (this phenotypeis also known as a chin dimple). A survey of 1200 college students found that108 of them did not have a cleft chin. What was the frequency of heterozygotes inthat student population?
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. In a coastal city in Nigeria, the incidence of Sickle-Cell disease is 4% of the population. Based on this information, what is the frequency of this allele in the population of that city? 3. In a given human population, only the "A" and "B" alleles are present in the ABO system; there are no individuals with type "O" blood or with O alleles in this particular population. If 200 people have type A blood, 75 have type AB blood, and 25 have type B blood, what are the alleleic frequencies of this population (i.e., what are p and q)? 4.
