Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. 1 in 2,500 Caucasian newborns have CF. 16. The frequency of the recessive allele for CF in the Caucasian population is 0.25 0.04 0.33 0.02 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep live along the border between Alberta and British Columbia in the southern half of both provinces. Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Population in 1989 and 2008 18. The population density of deer in 2008 was Sample Area Area 1 Area 2 Area 3 1989 5215 785 4 000 2008 5 815 870 4 500 17. What was the growth rate of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep population in Area 1 between 1989 and 2008? Answer: bighorn sheep/year (Record your answer as a value rounded to one decimal place in the numerical- response section on the answer sheet.) The number of deer in a 15 080 km² area of Northern Alberta was 670 in 2008. Many Elk and Whitetail deer live in and around an area 80 km² area that includes the Jasper town site. Both species depend on similar food sources. The population of the elk tends to show the pattern of distribution illustrated below.

Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disease that afflicts approximately 1 in 12 African Americans, meaning that the frequency of ss homozygotes is 0.09. Assuming the African American population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of Ss carriers in this population?
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?
