60 individuals have the genotype AA28 individuals have the genotype Aa12 individuals have the genotype aaWhat is the frequency of the A allele?Think of how many alleles in total?hint: add up the number of A alleles in this population: AA= 60+60 and Aa= 28.Add those together and divide by the total number of alleles.
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…
In a population that is in HWE, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is 0.09. What is the frequency of individuals that are homozygous for the dominant allele? Provide summation

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. Would this red mutant allele have a better or worse chance of rising to fixation relative to the island B population of problem 5? (A) red allele more likely to reach fixation in A island beginning in 1990 compared to B island beginning in…
