Given the following observed genotype frequencies (AA 0.45, Aa 0.16 and aa 0.39) for a gene that determines coat color with incomplete dominance in a population of lemmings. Allele "A" results in a dark colored coat. Allele "a" results in a light colored coat, which of the following is most likely? * You will need to examine this for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium and look at the genotype frequencies. Selection against dark coats O Selection against light coats No evolutionary changes are occurring in this population O Intermediate colors are at a disadvantage

How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
A population with an allele frequency (p) of 0.5 anda genotype frequency (p2) of 0.25 is at equilibrium.How can you explain the fact that a population withan allele frequency (p) of 0.1 and a genotype frequency (p2) of 0.01 is also at equilibrium?
In monkeys, black coat color (B) is dominant over brown color (b). A population of monkeys was found to be composed of 67 brown coated individuals and 119 black coated individuals. What is the frequency of the b allele in this population? What is the frequency of the B allele in this population? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to have the genotype BB? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to bave black coat color? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, how many individuals in this population would be expected to have the genotype Bb?
A scientist is studying a wild population of Japanese morning glories. It is easy to separate genotypes at a flower color locus by their phenotypes. Red individuals are homozygous for the R allele, yellow individuals are homozygous for the Y allele, and orange individuals are heterozygous. If the number of individuals with the following genotypes are: RR: 831 RY: 33 YY: 442 Is the population in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?
Given the following observed genotype frequencies (AA 0.45, Aa 0.16 and aa 0.39) for a gene that determines coat color with incomplete dominance in a population of lemmings. Allele "A" results in a dark colored coat. Allele "a" results in a light colored coat. What percent of the population would possess a dark coat as their phenotype?
In a population of cats, the phenotypic frequency of black cats is 91%, and the phenotypic frequency of white cats is 9%. Assuming that black (B) is dominant and white (b) is recessive, identify the appropriate frequency for each of the following for a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Match each frequency with the correct value. Allele Frequency of b Allele frequency of B genotype frequency of BB Genotype frequency of Bb
In monkeys, black coat color (B) is dominant over brown color (b). A population of monkeys was found to be composed of 67 brown coated individuals and 119 black coated individuals. Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to have the genotype BB? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to bave black coat color?
In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (W) and by a recessive allele for yellow (w). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium reveals that 35 kernels are yellow and 117 kernels are white. What is the frequency of individuals with the heterozygous genotype? Group of answer choices .30 .24 .45 .50
the frequency of allele a is 0.45 for a population inhardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What are the expectedfrequencies of genotypes AA, Aa, and aa?
In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (W) and by a recessive allele for yellow (w). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium reveals that 35 kernels are yellow and 117 kernels are white. What is the frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype? Group of answer choices .27 .56 .26 .23
Consider a population of 150 mice on an island, with allele frequencies B = 0.20 for brown coat colour, and b = 0.80 for white coat colour. Brown (B) is dominant to white (b) and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Twenty-five homozygous brown mice from the mainland float to the island on an uprooted tree after a storm. What are the genotype frequencies before migration? What are the allele frequencies after migration? Now, suppose the twenty-five brown mice float away again on another tree without breeding, and the island is back to its original state. Allele frequencies on the island are back to B = 0.20, b = 0.80. On the continent, there is a large population of many thousands of mice, with allele frequencies B = 0.80, b = 0.20. One year, human ships begin moving back and forth between the island and the continent, and occasionally a mouse comes along for the ride, and stays and breeds. Equal numbers of mice ride in each direction. The shipping trade continues…
