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 given autosomal locus has three possible alleles (A1, A2, and A3). Assuming that the numbers of individuals with the six possible genotypes are as follows, what would be the frequency of the A1 allele in the population? A1A1 = 30 A1A2 = 27 A2A2 = 12 A1A3 = 17 A2A3 = 10 A3A3 = 4 What would be the frequency of the A3A3 genotype? Assume the population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. 0.182 B. 0.27 C. 0.03 D. 0.317 E. 0.107 F. 0.09
If a disease determined by autosomal recessive heredity occurs at a frequency of 0.04 in a population, what is the frequency of this disease allele in the population? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use Aand a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.
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. 1. What is the frequency of the dominant allele? 2. What is the frequency of the recessive allele for WSE in population? 3. What is the frequency of the heterozygous people?
If the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by a rare clinically relevant allele is 1/8500 in a given population, what is the carrier frequency? Please give your answer as a percentage to 3 decimal places, do not include the % symbol. ANSWER: In a population where the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by only one known mutation is 1/8500 the carrier frequency is a percent.
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. 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.
In a given population, 1 out of 400 individuals has cancer caused by a recessive allele g. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected proportion of individuals who are carriers?
Describe how the phenotype of individuals with sickle-cell disease influences how common the HbS allele is in the population: Do individuals with sickle-cell disease typically have many offspring? What effect does the fact that individuals with sickle-cell disease do not produce many offspring have on the frequency of the HbS allele in the population over time? Given this, do you expect the HbS allele to be common or rare in populations?
Imagine that in squirrels, the gene for brown coat is coded by two alleles, D for dark brown and d for light brown. In a population of squirrels in Central Park, you identified 251 DD, 182 Dd , and 117 dd. What is the frequency of the light brown, d allele? Please use and round to four decimal points.
Suppose 40 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele. If this population conforms to Hardy-Weinberg expectations for this gene, what percentage of the population must be heterozygous for this trait? Please explain how you got your answer.
a.)If the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, what is the frequency of the genotype that is homozygous for this allele (that is, that genotype has two copies of this allele)? b.) If we know that the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, we have enough information to calculate the frequency of the related phenotypes in the population, assuming there are only two alleles.
Consider a population with 28 individuals with the genotype AA and 12 Aa individuals and 50 individuals with the genotype aa how many alleles in this population in total?
Consider a rare deleterious recessive allele for a specific gene/locus. In this hypothetical population, the deleterious recessive allele exists at a proportion of 0.01. In an offspring with randomly chosen parents, what is the probability that the offspring will be homozygous for the deleterious recessive allele [q]?
