A research team from UNF went to Antarctica to study snow fish. These fish have the ability to fluoresce. The dominate trait is to fluoresce green while the recessive trait is to fluoresce yellow. All the fish were captured, blood samples were taken, and the fish were tagged. Analysis revealed the following distribution of the fish.

A researcher examines a locus, or marker, in which there is a particular C/T polymorphism in a population of interest. Let’s call this Locus 1. They obtain the following genotype counts in a sample of the population: CC:42, CT:16, TT:32. a) Calculate the genotype frequencies and the allele frequencies for Locus 1 in the sample.b) Calculate the observed heterozygosity (the frequency of heterozygotes) and the observed homozygosity (the total frequency of all homozygotes) in the sample. Ensure that these two frequencies add up to 1.
The ratio for offspring in a specific population is .35 Homozygous AA, .20 Heterozygous Aa, .45 Homozygous for aa. If the A gene is dominant orange and the gene is recessive blue what is the phenotype ratio that will be observed from this population?
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?
60 individuals have the genotype AA28 individuals have the genotype Aa12 individuals have the genotype aaWhat is the frequency of the A allele?Think of how many alleles in total?hint: add up the number of A alleles in this population: AA= 60+60 and Aa= 28.Add those together and divide by the total number of alleles.
Which of the following statements describes an example of genetic drift?a. Allele g for fat production increases in a small population because birds with more bodyfat have higher survivorship in a harsh winter.b. Random mutation increases the frequency of allele A in one population but not inanother.c. Allele R reaches a frequency of 1.0 because individuals with genotype rr are sterile.d. Allele m is lost when a virus kills all but a few individuals and just by chance, none ofthe survivors possess allele m.
I had trouble with explaining how natural selection affects alllele and genotype frequency. Does natural natural selection affect alleles by causing adaption to happen increasing the frequency of advantageous alleles?
Imagine a population of raccoons in which food-washing behaviour is controlled by the W locus. WW individuals wash their food thoroughly before eating; Ww individuals wash their food less thoroughly; and ww individuals never wash their food. After observing 1000 raccoons, you count 300 WW, 200 Ww and 500 ww individuals. What is the frequency of the w allele for this population? A. 0.5 B. 0.6 C. 0.7 D. Because the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus, it is impossible to calculate the frequency of allele w.
You observe a population of Japanese 4’oclock plants. These plants can display red, pink or white flowers. Plants with red flowers are homozygous dominant (RR); plants with white flowers are homozygous recessive (rr) and plants with pink flowers are heterozygous (Rr). Based on the following data: 35 plants with red flowers; 25 plants with white flowers; 40 plants with pink flowers. Show all work A) Calculate genotype frequencies of RR; Rr and rr in the population. B) Calculate the allele frequencies of R and r in the population.
After graduation, you and 19 of your closest friends charter a plane to go on a round-the-world tour. Unfortunately, you all crash land safely on a deserted island and you start a new population totally isolated from the rest of the world. Two of your friends are heterozygous for the recessive cystic fibrosis allele (c). Assuming that the frequency of this allele does not change as the population grows, what will be the incidence of cystic fibrosis on your island? In percentage provide summation.
In a certain population of mice, a single gene controls fur color. There are two possible alleles: B, which leads to a black fur, and W, which leads to white fur. Individuals with the genotype BB will have a black fur, individuals with the genotype WW will have white fur, and individuals with the genotype BW will have gray fur. Scientists recorded the fur color of 1,000 mice from the population. They found that 200 mice have black fur, 400 have gray fur, and 400 have white fur. Ten years later, the measurements are repeated. Again, they recorded the fur color of 1,000 mice. They found that 400 have black fur, 400 have gray fur, and 200 have white fur. Part A: Show the Hardy-Weinberg calculations for the beginning and ending populations. Include the values for the equation as well as the p and q values. Show your work. Part B: Use the Hardy-Weinberg calculation to explain if this population is evolving or not. Then propose a hypothesis about the environment of these mice that would lead…
Different species of crickets have distinct songs, andthey use these songs for mate recognition. Researcherscrossed two species of Hawaiian crickets (Laupala paranigra and L. kohalensis) whose songs are distinguishedby pulse rate (the number of pulses per second; Shaw etal., Molecular Ecology 16, 2007, 2879–2892.) Then, theymapped QTL in the F2 population derived from thiscross. Six autosomal QTL were detected. The mean traitvalues (pulses per second) at the three genotypic classesin the F2 for each QTL are shown in the table below,where P indicates the L. paranigra allele and K indicatesthe L. kohalensis allele.a. Calculate the additive (A) and dominance (D) effectsand the D/A ratio for each of the six QTL.b. Which of these QTL shows the greatest amount ofdominance?c. Which of these has the largest additive effect?d. The mean pulse rate for L. kohalensis is 3.72, and it is0.71 for L. paranigra. Do all six QTL act in the expecteddirection with the L. kohalensis allele conferring a…
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.
