- In a certain population, D is a dominant, wild-type allele of a gene encoding a protein important for cell division, and d is a recessive, loss- of-function allele of that gene. The allele frequencies for this gene in this popoulation are D = .7, d = .3 If mutation is the only force acting on this population from generation to generation, what do you predict will happen to allele frequencies over successive generations? The frequency of the D allele will increase The frequency of the d allele will increase Allele frequencies will remain constantarrow_forwardYou 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)arrow_forwardIf a population has an allele A1 frequency of 0.59 and an allele A2 frequency of 0.41, what is the expected frequency of the A2A2 genotype? Answers have 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
- Below is a plot of genotype frequencies in a population. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the probability that any given individual will have the m allele? 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 BB Bb bbarrow_forwardConsider rare disorders in a population caused by an autosomal recessive mutation. From the frequencies of the disorder in the population given, calculate the frequency of carriers (heterozygous individuals). Assume Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Disease or Disorder Frequency: 0.64% 0.2 0.64 0.1472 0.8 If the initial allele frequencies are p = 0.5 and q = 0.5 and allele a is a lethal recessive, what will be the frequencies after one generation? 0.96 0 0.66 0.33 0.25 O 00arrow_forwardThe Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next, as long as specific conditions are met. Choose Yes or No for the conditions that must be met from the providied statement below. 1. Mutations are exponentially occuring 2. All member of the population breed 3. Everyone produces the same number of offspring 4. The population is infinitely large 5. There is no migration in or out of the population 6. No net mutations are occuring 7. Natural selection of beneficial traits is occuring 8. Natural selection is not occuring 9. All mating is completely random 10. Offspring are able to migrate out of the populationarrow_forward
- A population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1 A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotype. What is the allele frequency of A1? Answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardConsider a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at a locus with two alleles, A and a, at frequencies of p and q, respectively. Assuming the population remains in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of Aa heterozygotes after 100 generations? 0.5 p2 2pq O1arrow_forwardIn mice, the waltzing allele (w) that causes the mouse to run in circles due to an inner ear defect is recessive to the non-waltzing allele (W).In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of 150 mice, 50% of the alleles are non-waltzing. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?Record your answer as a whole number percentage.arrow_forward
- Consider an autosomal locus with alleles A and a. If the the allele frequencies are as follows Freq(A) = 0.4, Freq(a) = 0.6. , then what is the predicted frequency of heterozygous Aa individuals, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Freq(Aa) = ? Enter a number between 0 and 1, inclusive, for example 0.33arrow_forwardCalculate selection for the following scenario. In a population of prairie dogs living on a prairie, prairie dogs with genotype AA have 9 offspring per year on average, those with genotype Aa have 5 offspring per year on average, and those with genotype aa have 8 offspring on average. Round selection to the nearest hundredth, report selection as a value ranging from "0.00" to "1.00" • Selection on genotype Aa: • Selection on genotype AA: • Selection on genotype aa: Which genotype has the highest fitness? Fill in the blank with homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessivearrow_forwardFor Wright- Fisher population with 500 of population size, it was found that frequency of allele b was 0.7 (B=0.3) in current population.
