A population of snails is at genetic equilibrium at a gene locus that controls coiling direction. The locus has two alleles (R and r). A genetic analysis revealed that 70% of the population's gametes carry the r Allele. What is the predicted frequency of genotypes in the population? R/R = 0.49, R/r = 0.42, r/r = 0.09 R/R = 0.16, R/r = 0.48, r/r = 0.36 there is not enough information R/R = 0.09, R/r = 0.42, r/r = 0.49 RR = 0.10, Rr = 0.20, rr = 0.70

A scientist is studying a wild population of Japanese morning glories. It is easy to separate genotypes at a flower color locus by their phenotypes. Red individuals are homozygous for the R allele, yellow individuals are homozygous for the Y allele, and orange individuals are heterozygous. If the number of individuals with the following genotypes are: RR: 831 RY: 33 YY: 442 Is the population in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?

In carnations, the red pigment (RR) is incompletely dominant to white (rr). The heterozygote (Rr) is pink. In a randomly mating field of carnations, 42 plants were red, 178 plants were pink, and 180 plants were white (total =400). What is the best estimate of the allele ferequency, for the red allele in this population?
A species of daisy has hermaphroditic flowers (i.e., each flower produces both male and female gametes). Researchers genotyped 1,000 individuals at a SNP in three populations. The numbers of each genotype in each population were: Genotype Population 1 Population 2 Population 3 TT 90 200 50 TC 420 200 500 CC 490 600 450 For each population, calculate the allele frequencies and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate whether there is an excess of homozygous or heterozygous genotypes. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate how many generations of random mating it would take for the population to reach equilibrium.
There are three alleles, A1, A2, and A3 in the population, with corresponding allele frequencies being 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6, respectively. If random mating is the norm for this population, then what is the expected A2A3 genotype frequency among the zygotes? -0.08 -0.18 -0.32 -0.36 -0.64
In a certain population of finches, a single gene controls beak length. There are two possible alleles: S, which leads to a short beak, and L, which leads to a long beak. Individuals with the genotype SS will have a short beak, individuals with the genotype LL will have a long beak, and individuals with the genotype SL will have a medium-length beak. Scientists measure that in this population of 1,128 total birds, 321 birds have short beaks, 562 have medium-length beaks, and 245 have long beaks. Ten years later, the measurements are repeated. This time, there were 1,346 birds in the population. 452 have short beaks, 699 have medium-length beaks, and 195 have long beaks. Based on the data collected 10 years later, is this population of finches currently evolving? How do you know? A. yes because more individuals in the population exhibit the SS genotype than would be expected if the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium B. no because the number of individuals that…

In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (W) and by a recessive allele for yellow (w). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium reveals that 35 kernels are yellow and 117 kernels are white. What is the frequency of individuals with the heterozygous genotype? Group of answer choices .30 .24 .45 .50
