In hamsters, there is a dominant allele (S) for smooth fur and a recessive allele (s) for spiky fur. A unique characteristic of these alleles is that the heterozygote (Ss) has its own phenotype - rough fur. In this way, we can determind the number of heterozygotes in the population. In a population of 1000 hamsters, 390 have smooth fur (SS), 470 have rough fur (Ss) and 140 have spiky fur (ss). Question: The expected number of smooth fur hamsters (SS) in the next generation of 1000 hamsters is: Question 3 options: 0.390 470 625 390

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? 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?
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?

There are 150 dominant homozygotes, 100 heterozygotes, and 50 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant and how many recessive alleles are in this population? What would be there respective allele frequencies?
A hypothetical species of plant has flowers whose color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, blue (B) and yellow (Y), where blue is dominant and yellow is recessive. A population of 2430 of these plants includes 190 plants with yellow flowers.Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the yellow allele?
a.)If the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, what is the frequency of the genotype that is homozygous for this allele (that is, that genotype has two copies of this allele)? b.) If we know that the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, we have enough information to calculate the frequency of the related phenotypes in the population, assuming there are only two alleles.
In a population that is in HW equilibrium, 38% of individuals are recessive homozygotes for a certain trait. In a population of 14,500, calculate the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals and heterozygote individuals.
There are 60 dominant homozygotes, 100 heterozygotes, and 25 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant alleles are in the population? How many recessive alleles are in the population? For these alleles, what would be the allele frequencies of both?
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.
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?
