Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?

. 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?
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
In a population at genetic equilibrium, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (tt) is 0.16. What are the allele frequencies of T and t, and what are the expected frequencies of the TT and Tt genotypes?
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?
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 A1A2 genotype? Assume the population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. 0.03 B. 0.107 C. 0.27 D. 0.317 E. 0.09 F. 0.182
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?
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.
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?
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?
The frequency of the A allele is represented by p, while the a allele is represented by q. At hardy-weinburg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the Aa genotype?
