Figure 19-11 shows the expected distributions for thethree genotypic classes if the B locus is a QTL affectingthe trait value.a. As drawn, what is the dominance/additive (D/A)ratio?b. How would you redraw this figure if the B locus hadno effect on the trait value?c. How would the positions along the x-axis of thecurves for the different genotypic classes of the B locuschange if D/A = 1.0?
In Figure 1-6, the students have 1 of 15 different heights,plus there are two height classes (4′11″ and 5′ 0″) forwhich there are no observed students. That is a total of17 height classes. If a single Mendelian gene can account for only two classes of a trait (such as purple orwhite flowers), how many Mendelian genes would beminimally required to explain the observation of 17height classes?
In the following table, average differences of height, weight,and fingerprint ridge count between monozygotic twins (rearedtogether and apart), dizygotic twins, and nontwin siblings arecompared: Based on the data in this table, which of these quantitative traitshas the highest heritability values?

Compare and contrast qualitative versus quantitative traits and describe a continuousdistribution. List and explain the two factors that can generate quantitative traits andhow Mendelian genetics can explain them.
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.
If there is no genetic variation within a population for a given trait, what is the heritability for the trait in the population?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
How is heritability related to genetic and environmental variance?
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…
