Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
A meadow is home to a population of plants of a particular species. Among these individuals are 125 plants that have red flowers and 375 plants that have white flowers.

In this population of plants, approximately how many copies of the r allele are there? Group of answer choices a. 750 b. 230 c. 20 d. 130 e. 870

In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). In a tomato plant population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, if allele r has a frequency of 0.66, what percentage of the population is homozygous dominant for this trait? Express your answer using three significant digits. Answer%
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)
In a population the homozygous dominant individuals made up 70% of the population, while heterozygous ones made up 21%, and recessive made up 9%. What are the frequencies of the A and a alleles?
