- If the frequency of allele 12 is 0.011, and allele 15 is 0.08, calculate the probability that any random person would be heterozygous for allele 12 and 15. Show your work.Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controlled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.Valyrians have alleles for gene A, controlling hair color. The dominant A (silver hair) and the recessive a (brown hair). In a population of 3600 individuals, 2000 have genotype AA, 1000 have genotype Aa, and 600 have genotype aa. a-What is the frequency of allele a?

Show your work.500 pea plants are growing in your garden. 400 of them are yellow, with half of them beinghomozygous and half being heterozygous. The other 100 are green. If yellow is dominant togreen, what are the frequencies of the alleles in this population? Is this an example of a fixedpopulation?In a population of 1000, 36% expresses the dominant phenotype. What is the frequency of marriage among heterozygotes? Write your answer in decimal form with four decimal places.
- In a population of 500 fruit flies, 250 are genotype RR, 100 are genotype Rr and 150 are genotype rr. Determine the allele frequencies for this gene in this population. Remember that the frequencies should add to 1. Please show your work.In a population of 50 flies in HWE, 18 flies have a recessive trait that causes small wings. How many flies are heterozygous?You are performing a series of experiments on fruit flies. You have a true breeding population of flies with red eyes, and a true breeding population of white eyes. You breed the population of flies to each other to get an F1 generation. In this F1 generation, 75% of the flies have Red eyes, 25% of the flies have white eyes. All the female flies have red eyes, half of the male flies have white eyes and the other half have red eyes. A statistically significant number of baby flies were produced in this cross. 1) What is that number? 2) What is the genotype ratio of the F1 generation? Give the genotypes.
- A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? In a population where the females have the allelic frequencies A = 0.35 and a = 0.65 and the frequencies for males are A = 0.1 and a = 0.9, how many generations will it take to reach HardyWeinberg equilibrium for both the allelic and the genotypic frequencies? Assume random mating and show the allelic and genotypic frequencies for each generation.How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
