4. In a human population, the following genotypic frequencies were observed in the ABO blood type: AA: 0.09 BB: 0.04 Al: 0.30 BI: 0.20 AB: 0.12 II: 0.25 Hints to help with the questions below: Blood type A= genotypes AA and Al Blood type B= genotypes BB and BI Blood type AB= genotype AB Blood type O= genotype II For part E: think about how you can utilize the equation for determining allele frequencies (A=(2(AA)+Aa)/2*pop size) when working with genotypic frequencies rather than abundances D. Calculate the phenotypic frequencies: frequency of people who are blood type A = frequency of people who are blood type B = frequency of people who are blood type AB = frequency of people who are blood type O = E. Calculate the allelic frequencies for this population: frequency of the A allele = frequency of the B allele = frequency of the i allele =

A population of mice is at HardyWeinberg equilibrium at a gene locus that controls fur color. The locus has two alleles, M and m. A genetic analysis of one population reveals that 60% of its gametes carry the M allele. What percentage of mice contains both the M and m alleles? a. 60% b. 48% c. 40% d. 36% e. 16%
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
5.) A man and a woman living in a tropical area where malaria is prevalent and health care is not accessible have seven children during their lifetime. The genotypes of their children are: ss, Ss, SS, ss, Ss, Ss, and SS. What must the genotypes of both parents be? Your answer should include a Punnett square to illustrate your work, and list all the genotypes and phenotypes.
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.

5) This chart shows the fur colors of a population of rabbits in the Great Smoky Mountains. A mutation introduces an allele for white fur. Based on the data, what do you predict will happen in the next 20 years? Select ALL that apply. Not Graded A) Those with white fur will slowly increase over the next 20 years. B) Those with mottled fur and brown fur will continue to exist in the population. C) Those with white fur will continue to decrease or even die out of the population. D) Mottled fur is the dominant trait so it will continue to increase in the population. E) Unless the environment changes, those with mottled fur will continue to increase in number.
25., Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. A population of 30,012 geese includes 9236 dark individuals. Genetic testing reveals that 7636 of the 9236 dark individuals are heterozygous (Dd). How many individuals are dd? 7636 13140 1600 20776

3. Researchers are investigating a newly discovered condition that greatly increases the likelihood of lung damage associated with the use of e-cigarettes. They found that 2% of their study population has the condition. The researchers believe they have found a useful marker locus for assessing the presence of the condition in individuals with unknown family history. They have found that, of those individuals with the condition, 99% have the marker allele M1. Of those without the condition, 99.8% have an alternative allele M2 at the marker locus. What is the probability that an individual has the condition if they have marker allele M1 and what do you conclude about the utility of the marker locus for indirect diagnosis?
