1.) Consider flower color in a hypothetical population of 7,000 flowers, red flowers (4,000), blueflowers (2,000) are dominant over pink flowers. If there are 1,000 pink flowers, find thefollowing:a. Frequency of dominant (red flower) alleleb. Frequency of recessive (pink flower) allelec. Frequency of each genotype (homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive,heterozygous)d. Make a Punnett square and use the rule of multiplication.
The allele for dark hair color is dominant (B). The allele for light hair color is recessive (b). If 1% of a population has light colored hair, and you know the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of alleles in the population are the recessive allele (b)?
You observe a population of Japanese 4’oclock plants. These plants can display red, pink or white flowers. Plants with red flowers are homozygous dominant (RR); plants with white flowers are homozygous recessive (rr) and plants with pink flowers are heterozygous (Rr). Based on the following data: 35 plants with red flowers; 25 plants with white flowers; 40 plants with pink flowers. Show all work A) Calculate genotype frequencies of RR; Rr and rr in the population. B) Calculate the allele frequencies of R and r in the population.
A population of self-pollinating pea plants has two genes; T (tall, dominant) and t (short, recessive). Suppose we have an isolated population in which 50% of the genes in the gene pool are dominant T, and the other 50% are recessive t. What percent of the population has each genotype? TT % Tt % tt % What percent of the population has each phenotype? tall % short %
In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
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
Lets say there exists a gene in the United States that comes in two alleles, the dominant A and the recessive a. The allele frequency of the dominant allele is 60% and the allele frequency of the recessive allele is 40% The population in genotyped and its found in the United States there are 36% Homozygous Dominant folk, 48% Homozygous Recessive folk, and 16% Homozygous recessive folk. Do you think there is any fitness advantage to any of these genotypes? Why or why not? View keyboard shortcuts

F is the dominant allele and f is the recessive allele. 40 plants are homozygous dominant • 44 plants are heterozygous 16 plants are homozygous recessive Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate the equilibrium frequencies of each genotype
In a population of snails, a locus affecting shell color has 2 alleles. The D allele produces a dark shell, while the d allele produces a white shell. Heterozygote individuals (Dd) have a yellowish shell. In a sample of 150 snails, 47 snails have a white shell, and 12 have a yellow shell. What is the frequency of the D allele? Round your answer to the second decimal place (0.00)
