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?
A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
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?
Assume that the frequency of gene B in a hypothetical population Is 0.63, that there are only two alleles (B and b) of the gee in the population, that allele B is dominant over allele b, that neither allele has a selective advantage over the other, and that the population is at equilibrium with regard to this particular gene. And how many individuals in this population are expected to be of genotype BB according to the Hardy-Weinberg formula? (Assume that the total population size is 150) 71 52 118 60 131
A certain autosomal recessive trait occurs in a population with a frequency of 1 in 6000. what is the expected frequency of heterozygous carriers in this population? (Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)
A sample of 100 individuals from a population that is dimorphic at the A locus has genotype counts as follows. AA: 30 Aa: 60 aa: 10 a) What are the allele frequencies in the population? b) What are the expected genotype frequencies, if the population were at HardyWeinberg equilibrium? c) Is the proportion of heterozygotes lower or higher than expected at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What deviations from the assumptions of the model would best explain the observed difference?
A certain autosomal recessive trait occurs in a population with a frequency of 1 in 4900. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of heterozygous carriers in this population? A.) 0.014 B.) 0.971 C.) 0.028 D.) There is not enough information to determine this.
If there are two alleles, A and a, in a population and the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, what frequency of A would produce the greatest frequency of heterozygotes?
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.
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.
If there are 12 rock pocket mice with dark fur and 4 with light-colored fur in a population, what is the value of q? Remember that light-colored fur is recessive. If the frequency of p in a population is 60% (0.6), what is the frequency of q? In a population of 1000 rock pocket mice, 360 have dark-colored fur. The others have light-colored fur. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percentage of mice in the population are homozygous dominant dark-colored mice?
