- 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.Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? The MN blood group is a single-gene, two-allele system in which each allele is codominant. Why are such codominant alleles ideal for studies of allele frequencies in a population?
- If there are two alleles, A and a, in a population and the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, what frequency of A would produce the greatest frequency of heterozygotes?In a human population at equilibrium, three genotypes are present in the following proportions: A/A = 0.81, A/a = 0.18, a/a = 0.01. Answer the following questions: What are the frequencies of gene A and gene a? What will their frequencies be in the next generation? What proportion of all marriages in this population is between heterozygotic parents?In a population of snapdragons, at the locus controlling flower color you find that 0.2 are AA, 0.65 are Aa, and 0.15 are aa. Assuming that any deviations from Hardy-Weinberg are due to the system of mating, calculate the inbreeding coefficient.
- In corn, yellow kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color, W, and by its recessive allele, w, . A random sample of 100 kernels from a population that is in equilibrium reveals that 9 are yellow and 91 are white. What are the frequencies of the yellow and white alleles in this population? What is the percentage of the heterozygotes?In a population of 527 individuals, a locus has two alleles: T and t. If 148 individuals have the tt genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the TT genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.If 80% of a population has a heterozy gous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows a recessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, does the population obey the rules of H - W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your final answer.
- If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the multiple alleles A+, A and a, whose frequencies are p= 0.60 for A+, q= 0.20 for A, and r = 0.20 for a, what percentage of the population is expected to be heterozygous?In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink. A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not? B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?In a population of 123 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 30 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.
