If the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by a rare clinically relevant allele is 1/9250 in a given population, what is the carrier frequency? Please give your answer as a percentage to 3 decimal places, do not include the % symbol.
If the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by a rare clinically relevant allele is 1/8500 in a given population, what is the carrier frequency? Please give your answer as a percentage to 3 decimal places, do not include the % symbol. ANSWER: In a population where the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by only one known mutation is 1/8500 the carrier frequency is a percent.
If the frequency of those homozygous for a rare clinically relevant allele that causes an autosomal monogenic recessive condition in a given population of 15 million individuals is 1/8500, how many individuals are likely to be carriers of the causative mutation? Please give your answer as a whole number.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by two copies of a mutated CFTR gene. If one in 100 (hypothetical scenario, not reality) people in the United States have cystic fibrosis, calculate the p and q frequency for the normal allele (p) and the mutated allele (q). Based on those calculations, what percentage of individuals would be expected to be homozygous dominant?
In Sweden 1/500 are born with an autosomal recessive disorder called thalassemia. What is the carrier frequency within the population?
If the frequency of a homozygous recessive disorder is 1 in 10,000, the frequency of the dominant allele is ________ % and the heterozygous genotype frequency is ________ %.
Using the observed counts for each genotype, how do you find the expected values with those numbers and the frequencies?
The frequency of children homozygous for the recessive allele for the genetic disease cystic fibrosis is about one in 2,500. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of heterozygotes (carriers) in the populat ion?
A given autosomal locus has three possible alleles (A1, A2, and A3). Assuming that the numbers of individuals with the six possible genotypes are as follows, what would be the frequency of the A1 allele in the population? A1A1 = 30 A1A2 = 27 A2A2 = 12 A1A3 = 17 A2A3 = 10 A3A3 = 4 What is the frequency of A2 allele in the population? A. 0.74 B. 0.175 C. 0.375 D. 0.52 E. 0.305
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.
Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. AmongAshkenazi Jews, the frequency of Tay–Sachs disease is 1 in 3600. If theAshkenazi population is mating randomly with respect to the Tay–Sachsgene, what proportion of the population consists of heterozygouscarriers of the Tay–Sachs allele?
Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. Among Ashkenazi Jews, the frequency of Tay–Sachs disease is 1 in 3600. Assuming the Ashkenazi population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the population is expected to be carriers (e.g. heterozygous) for the Tay–Sachs allele?
