In a population of 1000 baby kitties, 40 are white because of a recessive allele (b). Non-white cats are either homozygous dominant (BB) or heterozygous dominant (Bb). What is the expected frequency of heterozygous kitties in the population?
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 190 out of 1000 individuals have polydactyly. Note that the trait is dominant. a. What is the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles? b. How many are expected to be heterozygotes for the trait? c. How many are expected to be homozygous dominant?
In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 37% of the individuals exhibit the recessive trait (ss). a) What is the frequency of the dominant allele (S) in the population? b) What percent of the population possesses the dominant allele (S)?
In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink. A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not? B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?
We have used a small population (52) of consistent and known age structure, with only four possible genetic states (four alleles of one gene). What does this exercise suggest to you about the effects of a bottleneck in populations involving hundreds of genes and alleles, some of which may be very rare (frequency 0.01 or less)? In other words, what are the limitations of this model compared to real populations?
Full color (D) in domestic cats is dominant over dilute color (d). Of 325cats observed, 194 have full color and 131 have dilute color.a. If this population of cats is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for thedilution locus, what is the frequency of the dilute (d) allele?b. How many of the 194 cats with full color are likely to be heterozygous?
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the homozygote recessive is 0.16. What is the frequency of the heterozygote?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease mostly affecting people of European descent that is caused by a recessive allele. You sample 1000 people for this allele and find 772 homozygous normal individuals, 221 heterozygotes, and 7 people homozygous for cystic fibrosis. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Clines in body size have been observed in manyspecies, such as the latitudinal cline in mooseshown in Figure 8.2.a. Does a cline in body size necessarily resultfrom variation in allele frequencies at loci thataffect body size? Why or why not?b. How might you determine whether a clinein body size was caused by clines in allelefrequencies?c. Say there is strong evidence that a latitudinalcline in body size in a squirrel is caused byvariation in allele frequencies. Do you thinkthat data showing how rapidly the averagebody size changes with latitude could bythemselves be used to determine how selection varies in space? Why or why not?
In a population of 100 pea plants, there are two variations for flowers colors-- purple and white. After counting, the number of white plants were 25 plants. What would be the frequency of white allele (q)? q=?
A mountain region has a population of 5,000 mountain goats. You score these animals for the R locus and find that this locus has two alleles, R (dominant) and r (recessive). 3200 individuals are homozygous dominant, 1,600 are heterozygous, and 200 are homozygous recessive. a) Calculate the allele frequencies for this population. Show your work. b) Calculate the observed genotypic frequencies for this population. Show your work. c) Calculate the expected genotype frequencies if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your work. d) Does this population appear to be at H-W equilibrium? Why or why not? (You do not need to analyze this statistically).
A) Explain why we use the concept of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium if populations are never stable? B) What do the mathematical results tell us if the allele frequencies do not match our predictions? (In other words, if you have extra spotted fish in a generation, what has happened?)
