Albinism is a rare genetic condition, occurring in only one in every 17,000 to 22,000individuals in the world (Campbell et al. 2003; Gronskov et al. 2007). Conduct a library oronline research and answer these questions: A. What can you conclude about the allelic frequency of the a allele globally? B. Where do you think the a allele would be more commonly found, among theheterozygotes (Aa) or the homozygote recessives (aa)? Why do you say so? C. What happens to an individual who is albino (aa) or who has very low or lacksmelanin pigments in the hair, skin and eyes? D. Based on your answer in c, how would you explain the frequency of the a allele?

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? A.) 0.189 B.) 0.320 C.) 0.427 D.) 0.671

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
Whether or not a person has cheek dimples is an autosomally inherited character due to variation in a single gene. Having cheek dimples (D) is dominant to not having cheek dimple s (d).In a population of 28,000 Greek children, 3,500 had cheek dimples and the rest did not. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, A. what are the frequencies of the two alleles? B. how many of the children do you expect to be heterozygous?
. In Europe, the frequency of the CF− allele causing therecessive autosomal disease cystic fibrosis is about0.04. Cystic fibrosis causes death before reproductionin virtually all cases.a. Determine values of relative fitness (W) for the unaffected, carrier, and affected genotypes. Assumethat no selective advantage is associated with heterozygosity for the disease allele.b. Given your answer to part (a), determine the average (mean) fitness at birth of the population as awhole with respect to the cystic fibrosis trait (W)and the expected change in allele frequency overone generation (Δq) when measured at the birth ofthe next generation.c. Suppose the European population is at equilibriumfor the frequency of the CF− allele because someheterozygote advantage exists. Recalculate the relative fitness values for the three genotypes underthis assumption. d. The CFTR protein encoded by the CF gene is achloride ion channel.

Based on this information (picture) A. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual from the population has two copies of the a allele (that is, that it has an aa genotype)? B. What is the probability that both members of a randomly sampled married couple (man and woman) are aa at the asparagus-smelling gene? C. What is the probability that both members of a randomly sampled married couple (man and woman) are heterozygotes at this locus (meaning that each person has one allele A and one allele a)? D. Consider the type of couple described in (c). What is the probability that the first child of such a couple also has one A allele and one a allele (is a heterozygote)? Remember that the child must receive exactly one allele from each parent.
