A population in HW equillibrium is taken into the lab for an experiment in which inbreeding occurs. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.6. The original population is genotyped to determine the alleles present at the A locus, and the following frequencies of the three genotypes is observed: AA 0.49 Aa 0.42 aa 0.09 What is the expected frequency of aa individuals in the next generation? A. 0.258 B. 0.216 C. 0.09 D. 0.184

A scientist is studying the population of Cape Fox over four generations to determine if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Use the data below to determine if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Frequency Type First Generation Second Generation Third Generation Fourth Generation Frequency of dominant alleles p=0.2p=0.2 p=0.25p=0.25 p=0.35p=0.35 p=0.2p=0.2 Frequency of recessive alleles q=0.8q=0.8 q=0.75q=0.75 q=0.65q=0.65 q=0.8 No, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium because the frequencies of alleles have changed over the four generations. No, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium because the frequencies of dominant and recessive alleles are not equal. Yes, the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium because the recessive allele is always greater than the dominant allele. Yes, the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium because the fourth generation reverts back to the initial population levels.…
About 70 percent of all Caucasians can taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide, and the remainder cannot. The ability to taste this chemical is determined by the dominant allele T, and the inability to taste is determined by the recessive allele t.

Researchers studied the blood types of indigenous populations in the Andes. They used a two-allele typing system (M and N alleles). In one population the genotypic frequencies were: f (MM) = 0.70, f (MN) = 0.20, f (NN) = 0.10. What are the frequencies of M and N alleles for this population? Answer choices f(M) = 0.80 and f(N) = 0.20 f(M) = 0.70 and f(N) = 0.30 f(M) = 0.49 and f(N) = 0.01 f(M) = 0.90 and f(N) = 0.10 f(M) = 0.50 and f(N) = 0.50
What affect will inbreeding tend to have on genotypic frequencies in a population? a) It will increase the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. b) It will decrease the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. c) It will increase the frequency of homozygous genotypes. d) It will increase the frequency of heterozygous genotypes.
In a species of lily, the color of the flower’s petals is determined by a dominant purple allele (F) or recessive white allele (f). One hundred flowers in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were sampled, and only 15% of the population showed the phenotype of white. Which of the following numbers represents the calculated value of the recessive white allele frequency? A - 0.92 B - 0.39 C - 0.15 D - 0.85
