Among a large population of 2 million gray mosquitoes, one mosquito is heterozygous for a body color gene; this mosquito has one gray allele and one blue allele. There is no selective advantage or disadvantage between gray and blue body color. All of the other mosquitoes carry two copies of the gray allele. A. What is the probability of fixation of the blue allele? B. If fixation happens to occur, how many generations is it likely to take? C. Qualitatively, how would the answers to parts A and B be affected if the blue allele conferred a slight survival advantage?
A population of birds may have red feathers or orange feathers. Red feathered birds have the genotype RR or Rr. Orange feathered birds have the genotype rr. The frequency of the RR genotype is .46 a. What is the frequency of heterozygous birds? B. What is the frequency of the R allele ? C. What is the frequency of r allele?
In a population of millipedes, the gene “R” determines their color. The color red is determined by the dominant “R” allele and the color orange is determined by the recessive “r” allele. A population of 100 millipedes consists of the following genotypes: 30 RR 44 Rr 26 rr Answer the following - You can represent the ratio/frequency as a fraction or a %. A. What is the genotypic ratio of this population of millipedes? B. What is the phenotypic ratio of this population of millipedes? C. What are the allele frequencies for “R” and “r” in this population of millipedes?
In a population of mountain lions, 9% of the individuals suffer from a disease caused by a recessive allele (aa). A) Calculate the frequency of both the dominant and recessive alleles. B) What is the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals and what is the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population?
Consider the case of a hypothetical genetic disease called WhySciEleven (WSE), an inherited disease that results to the inability to complete production of an amino acid “moduleactivity” that results in brain damage if untreated. WSE is due to a recessive allele. Given one WSE occurrence per 10,000 births. Which term in the Hardy-Weinberg equation corresponds to the frequency of individuals who have no alleles for the disease WSE? a. p b. 2pq c. p2 d. q2
Cardigan Corgi tail length is determined by 5 genes. The genotype DDEEFFGGHH produces a tail length of 44cm, while the genotype ddeeffgghh produces a tail length of 4cm. a) Each additive allele adds how many centimeters to the tail length? b) Predict the tail length for the following genotype: DDEEFfGgHh Group of answer choices 8cm, 56cm 4cm, 12cm 8cm, 24cm 4cm, 32cm
In a population of 100 pea plants, there are two variations for flower colors-- purple and white. After counting, the number of white plants were 36 plants. What would be the frequency of purple allele (p)?
A population of 30 individuals has a mutation that generates a new allele “a”. This new allele gives a nearly identical phenotype to the “old” allele “A”. What is the probability of fixation for “a”? What will be the average number of generations until fixation? How would these values change if the population contained 3000 individuals?
Valyrians have alleles for gene A, controlling hair color. The dominant A (silver hair) and the recessive a (brown hair). In a population of 3600 individuals, 2000 have genotype AA, 1000 have genotype Aa, and 600 have genotype aa. a-What is the frequency of allele a?
. Full color (D) is dominant over dilute color (d). Of 325 cats observed, 194 have full color and 131 have dilute color. a. If the cats are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the dilute allele? b. How many of the 194 cats with full color are likely heterozygous?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? In a population where the females have the allelic frequencies A = 0.35 and a = 0.65 and the frequencies for males are A = 0.1 and a = 0.9, how many generations will it take to reach HardyWeinberg equilibrium for both the allelic and the genotypic frequencies? Assume random mating and show the allelic and genotypic frequencies for each generation.
The fraggles are a population of mythical, mouselike creatures that live in underground tunnels and chambers beneath a large vegetable garden that supplies their food. They can reproduce VERY quickly! Of the fraggles currently in this population, 372 have green fur and 182 have gray fur. Green fur is controlled by a dominant allele F and gray fur by a recessive allele f. a) What is the frequency of the gray allele f? b) What is the frequency of the green allele F? c) How many fraggles are heterozygous (Ff)? d) How many fraggles are homozygous recessive (ff)? e) How many fraggles are homozygous dominant (FF)?
