A given autosomal locus has three possible alleles (A1, A2, and A3). Assuming that the numbers of individuals with the six possible genotypes are as follows, what would be the frequency of the A1 allele in the population? A1A1 = 30 A1A2 = 27 A2A2 = 12 A1A3 = 17 A2A3 = 10 A3A3 = 4 What would be the frequency of the A1A3 genotype? Assume the population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. 0.317 B. 0.182 C. 0.03 D. 0.09 E. 0.27 F. 0.107
. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?
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.
For a gene existing in two alleles, what are the allele frequencies when the heterozygote frequency is at its maximum value, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What if there are three alleles?
In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, which of the following is the correct interpretation of the variables? p represents the more common allele, and q represents the less common allele p and q alleles are always the same value p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele p and q alleles are always co-dominant alleles
If the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, and we know there are only two alleles at this locus, what must be the frequency of the other allele?
If the Hardy-Weinberg equation enables us to use information on genotype and allele frequencies to predict the genotype frequencies of the next generation. In a population of 100,000 people carrying the recessive allele a for albinism, there are: 100 aa albinos and 1800 Aa heterozygous carriers. What is a frequency of heterozygous carriers in the next generation? Calculate the frequency for the A allele and a allele. How this will chance the frequency of alleles in a population for the following generation?
In a population at genetic equilibrium, the frequency of the dominant phenotype is 0.96. What are the frequencies of the dominant (A) and recessive (a) alleles, and what are the expected frequencies of the AA, Aa, and aa genotypes?
Assuming there are only two alleles at a given locus, if the frequency of one allele is 0.3, what is the frequency of the other allele?
We have learned that the response to selection is equal to the selection differential times the narrow-sense heritability, and that the narrowsense heritability includes only the additive genetic variance. Why aren’t the dominance genetic variance and the gene interaction variance included? Why don’t they contribute to the genetic variation that is acted on by selection?
If a trait determined by autosomal recessive allele occurs at a frequency of 0.25 in a population, what are the allelic frequencies? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use A and a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.
If the frequency of homozygous dominant is 33 the frequency of heterozygous is 33 and the frequency of homozygous recessive is 34. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the frequency of the recessive allele?
