Question
A population sample of 300 individuals is studied for the electrophoretic mobility of an enzyme that varies according to the genotype determined by 2 alleles, E and T of a single gene. The results are 7 individuals with genotype EE, 106 with genotype ET, and 187 with genotype TT. What are the allele frequencies of E and T, and what are the expected numbers of the 3 genotypes if random mating is assumed?

- In the Paraguayan Easter Atlantic Forest, a mating between a homozygous black yaguarundi and a homozygous blond yaguarundi will produce all brown yaguarundi offspring. When these brown F₁ yaguarundies are mated, their offspring consists of 2 white, 31 black, 154 brown, and 17 blond yaguarundies. A) Name what genetic interaction or ratio (depending on the ratio expected) may be occurring in this population? B) What are the observed and expec phenotypic ratios for these F2 progeny? C) Use a Chi-squared analysis to test your hypothesis (set a = 0.05). Be sure to report all values used in your comparisons (p-values, critical values, alpha value, df, etc), your hypothesis, and show your work.arrow_forwardHuman blood type is determined by three alleles, IA, IB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both are dominant to IO. These alleles combine to produce four phenotypes: type A, type B, type AB, and type O. Within a large, randomly mating population (540,000 individuals), the frequencies for the blood type alleles are 0.3 for the IA allele, 0.6 for the IO allele, and 0.1 for the IB allele. Calculate the expected numbers of people in the population having each of the blood types A, B, AB, and O. A. A = 48,600 people B = 5,400 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people B. A = 243,000 people B = 5,400 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people C. A = 162,000 people B = 54,000 people AB = 3,240 people O = 324,000 people D. A = 194,400 people B = 64,800 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people E.

Fill in the following table. Is there a control treatment (and, if so, what is it)? Is there any accounting for individual variation? Is there repetition in the experiment? What, if any, confounding variables are not addressed in the experiment? Can we say with some confidence that on-line learning is as effective as traditional in-class learning?arrow_forward
- Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. A population of 30,012 geese includes 9236 dark individuals. Genetic testing reveals that 7636 of the 9236 dark individuals are heterozygous (Dd). According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of genotype Dd?

In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.) To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.arrow_forwardIn a population of plants, leaf hairiness is determined by a single locus with two alleles: H and h. Out of 319 individuals in the population, 25 % are completely hairy, 9 % are partially hairy, and the remaining are hairless. Complete hairiness is caused by homozygosity of the H allele at a single locus; hairlessness is caused by homozygosity of the h allele at that locus; heterozygotes are partially hairy. What is the expected (predicted under H–W) number of individuals with partially hairy leaves?arrow_forward
- In a population, the allele frequencies of the ABO blood type alleles are A=0.2, B=0.3, and O=0.5 . If mating is random and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percent of people having blood type A (AA, AO) are homozygous? Please express your answer as a percent and round it to two digits (such as 42 or 89).arrow_forwardEye color in a species of fruitfly is determined by a single locus with two alleles: E and e. EE individuals have red eyes, Ee have pink eyes, and ee individuals have brown eyes. In a lab population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 27 flies with brown eyes out of 164. How many flies can you expect to have red eyes?
