Here C has 2 alleles C1 and C2 and same with D allele. C1D1 are the haplotypes for both of the populations: C1 D1 C1D1 First Population 0.3 0.5 0.45 Second Population 0.5 0.2 0.15 Answer the following: 1. If you sample 2 copies of the gene that is C from first population what can be the probability that they are both C1 alleles? 2. You have sampling an C1 allele from 1st popu. If you sample one more copy from first population, what is the probability that it will also turn out to be allele that's C1? 3. Find the expected frequency of haplotype from 1 st population.
In a given population, the frequencies of the dominant allele (A) and recessive allele (a) of a given gene are 80% and 20%, respectively. The frequency of the Aa genotype in the above population is? (two decimal places)
The table below shows four human populations (CLM, MXL, PEL, PUR). A single nucleotide polymorphism with alleles A and G has been genotyped in each of these populations. For each genotype, the frequency is shown, and the number of individuals with that genotype in the sample is in brackets. What is the frequency of the A allele in the CLM population? 0.80 0.76 0.88 0.84
Small population size causes genetic drift because ofchance sampling of different alleles from one generation to the next. We can predict how much geneticdrift occurs for a given population size using binomialsampling statistics. With a population of size N, wecan estimate that 95% of the time the allele frequency(p) in the next generation will be withinthe confidence interval of p ± 1.96 (√p(1 − p)2N ),where p(1 − p)2Nis an estimate of the statistical variancein allele frequencies from one generation to the nextwith random sampling of 2N alleles each generation. a. What is the confidence interval for p = 0.5 whenN = 100,000?b. What is the confidence interval for p = 0.5 whenN = 10?c. How are the results in parts (a) and (b) related tothe consequences of a population bottleneck?
A meadow is home to a population of plants of a particular species. Among these individuals are 125 plants that have red flowers and 375 plants that have white flowers. The allele of the flower color gene that produces red flowers (R) is completely dominant over the white flower color allele (r). In this population of plants, approximately how many copies of the r allele are there? Group of answer choices a. 750 b. 230 c. 20 d. 130 e. 870
A researcher examines a locus, or marker, in which there is a particular C/T polymorphism in a population of interest. Let’s call this Locus 1. They obtain the following genotype counts in a sample of the population: CC:42, CT:16, TT:32. a) Calculate the genotype frequencies and the allele frequencies for Locus 1 in the sample.b) Calculate the observed heterozygosity (the frequency of heterozygotes) and the observed homozygosity (the total frequency of all homozygotes) in the sample. Ensure that these two frequencies add up to 1.
If all copies of a given locus have the same allele throughout the population, the allele frequency is (a) 0 (b) 0.1 (c) 0.5 (d) 1.0 (e) 10.0

What are the allele frequencies of GBand GG inthis population?c. What are the expected frequencies of the genotypes if the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?
Imagine a population of 100 snails in which the shell colour is controlled by two alleles: B (black) and b (yellow) I) What is the total no. of loci for shell colour gene in this population II) in the snail population above, 20 out of the snails are yellow (bb) and 80 are black (BB or Bb). Of the 80 black snails, 30 are homozygous and 50 are heterozygous. How many loci for this gene are occupied by the B allele? III) What is the frequency of B allele? IV) Assuming that sexual reproduction takes place with random mating, no gene flow and no selection, what will be the frequency of yellow snails in next generation of the population described above? V) What will be the frequency of b allele in the next generation of the snail population described
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease mostly affecting people of European descent that is caused by a recessive allele. You sample 1000 people for this allele and find 772 homozygous normal individuals, 221 heterozygotes, and 7 people homozygous for cystic fibrosis. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
