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?
The M and N blood groups are determined by two codominant alleles. In a random sample of 200 persons, 128 were found to belong to group M. Assuming random mating, what is the frequency of the N allele?
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?
****Note for question 1 - you have been given the frequency of the two alleles (dominant and recessive = p + q=1) and you are using those allele frequencies to calculate the genotype frequencies. p2 + 2pq + p2
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In certain populations of Northern European descent, the number of people born with this disorder is about 1 in 2500. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium for this trait: A. What are the frequencies for the normal and CF alleles? B. What are the genotype frequencies of homozygous normal, heterozygous, and homozygous affected individuals? C. Assuming random mating, what is the probability that two phenotypically unaffected heterozygous carriers will choose each other as mates?
In a population of 1000 individuals, 150 have kinky hair, 460 have wavy hairy, and the rest have straight hair. Let us assume that hair type is governed by a pair of alleles, and there are two types of alleles, S (kinky) and s (straight), with the heterozygote condition being wavy. Compute for the allelic frequencies for hair type in the population.
You find a population of 200 mice in which 32 of them display the recessive fur color. What is the genetic structure (the allelic and genotypic frequencies) in that population, with respect to fur color?
If a trait determined by autosomal recessive allele occurs at a frequency of 0.25 in a population, what are the allelic frequencies? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use A and a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.
Consider the Hardy-Weinberg equations. If the frequency of a recessive allele is 0.3, what is the frequency of the dominant allele?
Do a chi square tablet for the question. I left a reference down below. Question: 3. In dihybrid cross where both parents were heterozygous for both traits, the following data was obtained: 890 dominant for both traits, 97 recessive for both traits, 315 dominant for trait 1, but recessive for trait 2, and 298 dominant for trait 2, but recessive for trait one. Perform a chi-square analysis to determine if this data agrees with the expected outcomes. State your null hypothesis as well as if the null is rejected or not.
A danger in computing heritability values from studiesinvolving genetically related individuals is the possibility that theseindividuals share more similar environments than do unrelatedindividuals. In the experiment shown in Figure 24.8, which dataare the most compelling evidence that ridge count is not causedby genetically related individuals sharing common environments?Explain
Alkaptonuria is a recessive autosomal genetic disorder associated with darkening of the urine. In the United States, approximately 1 out of every 250,000people has alkaptonuria.a. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, estimatethe frequency of the allele responsible for this trait.b. What proportion of people in the U.S. populationare carriers for this trait? In this population, whatis the ratio of carriers to individuals affected byalkaptonuria?c. If a woman without alkaptonuria had a child withthis trait with one husband then remarried, what isthe chance that a child produced by her secondmarriage would have alkaptonuria?d. Alkaptonuria is a relatively benign condition, sothere is little selective advantage to individualswith any genotype; as a result, your assumptionof Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in part (a) is reasonable. Could you also use the assumption ofHardy-Weinberg equilibrium to estimate the allelefrequencies and carrier frequencies of more severerecessive autosomal conditions…
