Color in a species of minnows is determined by a single locus with two alleles: D and d. DD individuals are dark, Dd are intermediate, and dd are pale. In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we count 8 pale minnows out of 57. How many minnows do you expect to be dark? Round your answer to the closest integer value. Your Answer: Answer

How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? In a population where the females have the allelic frequencies A = 0.35 and a = 0.65 and the frequencies for males are A = 0.1 and a = 0.9, how many generations will it take to reach HardyWeinberg equilibrium for both the allelic and the genotypic frequencies? Assume random mating and show the allelic and genotypic frequencies for each generation.
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? The MN blood group is a single-gene, two-allele system in which each allele is codominant. Why are such codominant alleles ideal for studies of allele frequencies in a population?
Color in a species of minnows is determined by a single locus with two alleles: D and d. DD individuals are dark, Dd are intermediate, and dd are pale. In a population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 29 pale minnows out of 93. How many minnows do you expect to be dark? Round your answer to the closest integer value.
Color in a species of minnow is determined by a single locus with two alleles: D and d. DD individuals are dark, Dd are intermediate, and dd are pale. In a population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 74 pale minnows out of 202. How many minnows do you expect to be dark?
If 80% of a population has a heterozygous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows arecessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, doesthe population obey the rules of H-W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your finalanswer.
If 80% of a population has a heterozy gous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows a recessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, does the population obey the rules of H - W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your final answer.
In corn, yellow kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color, W, and by its recessive allele, w, . A random sample of 100 kernels from a population that is in equilibrium reveals that 9 are yellow and 91 are white. What are the frequencies of the yellow and white alleles in this population? What is the percentage of the heterozygotes?
In a population of 527 individuals, a locus has two alleles: T and t. If 148 individuals have the tt genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the TT genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.
In smurfs, blue tails and red tails are codominant to white tails (this is similar to blood type in humans). In a population of 200 smurfs, 6 have white tails, 93 have blue tails, 51 have red tails, and 50 have purple tails. Papa smurf has learned that the frequency of the blue tail allele is 0.53. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Be sure to do a Chi-square test and show your work.
In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 30 % of the individuals are recessive homozygotes for a certain trait. In a population of 25,000, calculate the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals and heterozygous individuals. (Show the solution)
In a population of 123 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 30 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.
In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 are brownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele for brown is denoted GB, and the allele for green is designated GG. These two alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. If this population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many green frogs would you expect to observe? (Remember to multiply the expected frequency by the number of frogs in the population.)
