34. Huntington's disease is a disease of the nervous system that is caused by a dominant allele (H). Although Huntington's disease is relatively rare around the world, affecting about I in every 10,000 people, in the small village of Barranquitas in Venezuela, Huntington's disease is much more common. In the population of 4,094 people in Barranquitas, 411 have Huntington's. What is the frequency of Huntington's disease in Barranquitas? 411/4094 0.100 B. What is the frequency of the normal phenotype? 1-0.100 0.900 C. What is the allele frequency of h? h^2-0.100 0.316 D. What is the allele frequency of H? 1-0.316= 0.684 What is the frequency of people who are heterozygous? 2(0.316)(0.684)=0.432 F. How many people are homozygous dominant? Е. G. How many copies of the recessive allele are there in the population? H. How many people carry at least one recessive allele?

3) The ability to curl ones’ tongue up on the sides (T) is dominant to not being able to roll your tongue (t). a. A woman who can roll her tongue marries a man who cannot. The first child has the same phenotype as the father, what are the genotypes of the mother, father, and this child? b. What is the probability that the second child won’t be able to roll it’s tongue?
It is the year 1998, and the men and women sailors (inequal numbers) on the American ship the MedischolBounty have mutinied in the South Pacific and settledon the island of Bali Hai, where they have come intocontact with the local Polynesian population. Of the400 sailors that come ashore on the island, 324 haveMM blood type, 4 have the NN blood type, and 72 havethe MN blood type. Already on the island are 600Polynesians between the ages of 19 and 23. In thePolynesian population, the allele frequency of the Mallele is 0.06, and the allele frequency of the N allele is 0.94. No other people come to the island over thenext 10 years.a. What is the allele frequency of the N allele in thesailor population that mutinied?b. It is the year 2008, and 1000 children have beenborn on the island of Bali Hai. If the mixed population of 1000 young people on the island in 1998mated randomly and the different blood groupphenotypes had no effect on viability, how manyof the 1000 children would you expect…

A wild population of pea plants has two alleles for flower color in its gene pool. A dominant allele (P) specifies purple flowers; a recessive allele (p) specifies white flowers. If the die frequency of allele P is 0.75, what is the expected frequency of allele p?

6. You have identified an autosomal gene that contributesto tail size in male guppies, with a dominant allele B forlarge tails and a recessive allele b for small tails. Femaleguppies of all genotypes have similar tail sizes. Youknow that female guppies usually mate with males withthe largest tails, but the effects of population densityand the ratio of the sexes on this preference have notbeen studied. You therefore place an equal number ofmales in three tanks. In tank 1, the number of femalesis twice the number of males. In tank 2, the numbers ofmales and females are equal. In tank 3, half as manyfemales as males are present. After mating, you findthe following proportions of small-tailed males amongthe progeny: tank 1, 16%; tank 2, 25%; tank 3, 30%.a. In your original population (before the animals wereplaced in the three tanks), 25% of the males havesmall tails. Assuming that the allele frequencies inmales and females are the same, calculate the frequencies of B and b in your…
1.) Cystic fibrosis is an inherited recessive disorder that causes especially thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. The mucus makes it difficult to clear micro-organisms from the airways, so people with cystic fibrosis are prone to dangerous respiratory infections. Among Caucasians, about one in every 3000 newborns is affected by this condition. Determine the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele among Caucasians. What proportion of this population would you expect to be heterozygous carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele? Express your answers as decimals.
