You are studying a population of mice in a field that have black (genotype BB), dark brown, (Bb) or light brown (bb) fur. In your population you have 49 black individuals, 274 dark brown and 206 light brown. What is the frequency of the B allele in the population? (round to 2 decimal places)
A population of cats is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for the S locus which causes patches of white fur. There are two alleles S and s. The frequency of the S allele is 0.3 and the frequency of the s allele is 0.7. What is the expected frequency of Ss cats in the population? Group of answer choices A. 0.21 B. 0.7 C. 1.0 D. 0.3 E. 0.42
In a hypothetical bug population, color is determined by a single gene and black is dominant over white. The frequency of the black allele is 0.1. If this population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what percentage of the bugs would we expect to be white? 81% 18% 9% 90% 10%
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?
In a population of 1000 mice, the allele frequency for dominant brown fur is 0.25. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. How many individuals will be heterozygous in the population? A. 375 B. 625 C. 750 D. 500
A population is made up of individuals where 149 have the A1A1 genotype, 18 have the A1A2 genotype, and 154 have the A2A2 genotype. What is the allele frequency of A1? Answer to 2 decimal places.
Imagine a population of raccoons in which food-washing behaviour is controlled by the W locus. WW individuals wash their food thoroughly before eating; Ww individuals wash their food less thoroughly; and ww individuals never wash their food. After observing 1000 raccoons, you count 300 WW, 200 Ww and 500 ww individuals. What is the frequency of the w allele for this population? A. 0.5 B. 0.6 C. 0.7 D. Because the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus, it is impossible to calculate the frequency of allele w.

In a population of frogs, allele frequencies for gene B are: p = f(B) = 0.3 q = f(b) = 0.7 If the population has 500 frogs and is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the genotypic frequency of the Bb genotype? A. 150 B. 280 C. 210 D. 90
