1. Certain flowers are either red (dominant) or white (rr). 91% of the flowers are red. Using the equations, calculate the frequency of the R allele. First you replace R and r for p and q. Thus we know that q2 = .09, because only the homozygous recessives will be white. *changed away from percentages to work the math more easily* What is the frequency of the R allele in this population? 2. In a coastal city in Nigeria, the incidence of Sickle-Cell disease is 4% of the population. Based on this information, what is the frequency of this allele in the population of that city? 3. In a given human population, only the "A" and "B" alleles are present in the ABO system; there are no individuals with type "O" blood or with O alleles in this particular population. If 200 people have type A blood, 75 have type AB blood, and 25 have type B blood, what are the alleleic frequencies of this population (i.e., what are p and q)? 4. An allele W, for white wool, is dominant over allele w, for…
Nieman-Pick Syndrome involves a defective enzyme, sphyngomylinase. It is usually fatal before the age of 3. The defective allele frequency is 0.01 in Ashkenazi populations. Let’s call the healthy allele A, and the lethal allele a. a) What is the frequency of allele A? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many people do you expect to have the three genotypes in a population of 10,000? b) AA:_______ c) Aa:________ d) aa:_________
1.) What happens to the genotypic frequencies from generation 1 to generation 5? 2.) What process is occurring when there is a change in genotypic frequencies over a long period of time? 3.) What would happen if it were more advantageous to be heterozygous (Ff)? Would there still be homozygous fish? Explain. 4.) What happens to the recessive genes over successive generations? Explain. 5.) Why doesn't the recessive gene disappear from the population?
1. Fitness is most correctly a technical term. What does it mean? What two things do you suppose govern the rate of evolution by natural selection? Explain how the Darwanian evolution can decrease and increase the frequency of an allele( or a more complex heritable trait, for that matter).
1) In cats, the allele for white fur(W) is completely dominant and will result in cats with all white fur in both the homozygous dominant and heterozygous cases. Suppose you look at 50 cats and notice that none of them are completely white. What's the allele frequency for the white fur allele in this population? 2) In carnations, the allele that makes red pigment (R) in flowers is incompletely dominant. Flowers that are red are homozygous dominant and those are pink are heterozygous. White flowers (r) are the result of the recessive allele. Suppose you look at a field of 100 carnations and notice 42 of the plants produce red flowers, 42 have pink flowers, and 16 produce white flowers. What's the allele frequency for both the red (R) and white (r) alleles?
Example: I go to a different population of fruit flies that have the same two alleles for eye-color. I suspect that the alleles occur in different frequencies in this second population. I sample 1000 flies and discover 10 that have brown eyes. What are the estimated frequencies of the "R" and "r" alleles in this population? Answer: Again, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. The term q2 = the relative frequency of homozygous recessive individuals, which corresponds to the ten brown-eyed flies I counted out of 1000 flies sampled. Thus, q2 = 10/1000 = 1/100. q = the square root of 1/100 or 0.1. Thus the frequency of "r" in this second population is 0.1 and the frequency of the "R" allele is 1 - q or 0.9. Problem 1: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease caused by the build-up of the byproducts of metabolizing phenylalanine. It is caused by a defective, recessive allele. If a child is homozygous for this recessive allele, it will develop PKU. In the United States, PKU is detected in approximately 1 in 10,000…
3) In 1998 in a forest there are 300 bald eagles, 200 have dark brown head feathers, and 100 have light brown head feathers. In 2014 there are 20 bald eagles in the same forest, 17 of which have dark brown feathers. Dark head feathers are dominant to light head feathers. Calculate the allele frequencies in 1998 and in 2014. a) Is evolution occurring? What do you believe is the main cause? Explain. b) Calculate the number of homozygous dominant bald eagles in 2014.
1.)In humans, curly hair is dominant over straight hair. Heterozygotes have wavy hair.On a college campus, a population geneticist found that the frequency of the curlyhair allele was 0.57. What was the frequency of students with wavy hair in that population? 2.) A sampling of 1000 corn kernels found that 360 of them were yellow; the rest of thekernels were purple (the dominant trait with regards to kernel color in corn). Whatwas the frequency of the recessive allele in the population?
You have two types of garden gnomes in a population. The majority are travelers, but some are home-bodies. This trait appears to be controlled by a single gene, which displays normal Mendelian complete dominance. The dominant allele is traveler (T) and the recessive allele is home-body (t). The frequency of the dominant allele is 0.70. If this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of heterozygotes in the population? Explain how you arrived at your answer.
1. What is the expected time to fixation in generations for a new mutation in a diploid population (like humans) with an effective population size of 50? This new mutation is neutral and has no impact on fitness (e.g. synonymous polymorphism). Assuming the mutation isn’t lost immediately, will it reach fixation faster in a population of Ne=500 or Ne=5,000 and why?
1.Describe the ways that gene number or gene position on a chromosome, might be altered? What implications might that have on evolution? 2.What are the conditions that must be met for a population to stay in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What happens if these conditions are not met? 3.What type of selection would most likely benefit heterozygous individuals and which will result in a population losing alleles: directional, disruptive, or stabilizing? Explain. 4.How might frequency dependent selection and the heterozygote advantage help maintain multiple alleles in a population? 5.Describe the theory of evolution by natural selection. Include terms like "excess reproduction, genetically distinct offspring, changing allele frequencies, and adaptive traits".
