In squirrels, the gray allele (G) is dominant to the brown allele (g) at the coat color locus. A population of 153 squirrels in Pullen Park was scored for the coat color locus. The frequency of the gray allele was found to be 0.81. Due to construction at NC State, 57 NC State squirrels migrated to Pullen Park. The frequency of the gray allele in the NC State squirrels was 0.27. The squirrels mated randomly to form a progeny generation at Pullen Park. Assuming that no further migration occurred and that all other conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were met, what is the frequency of the gray allele in the progeny generation at Pullen Park? Round your answer properly to 4 decimal digits. Answer:

Imagine that in squirrels, the gene for brown coat is coded by two alleles, D for dark brown and d for light brown. In a population of squirrels in Central Park, you identified 251 DD, 182 Dd , and 117 dd. What is the frequency of the light brown, d allele? Please use and round to four decimal points.
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 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?
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?
A population of mice in Northern Iowa has two alleles for coat color, B and b. The population has 980 BB, 840 Bb, and 180 bb individuals. What are the genotype frequencies in this population?
In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (A) and by a recessive allele for yellow (a). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that assumes Hardy- Weinberg principle reveals that 117 kernels are white. What is the frequency of individuals with the heterozygous genotype? Group of answer choices 0.30 0.24 0.45 0.50
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.)
In a species of lily, the color of the flower’s petals is determined by a dominant purple allele (F) or recessive white allele (f). One hundred flowers in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were sampled, and only 15% of the population showed the phenotype of white. Which of the following numbers represents the calculated value of the recessive white allele frequency? A - 0.92 B - 0.39 C - 0.15 D - 0.85
In cats, all-white color is dominant over colors other than all-white. In a population of100 cats, 19 are all-white. Assuming that the population is in Hardy–Weinbergequilibrium, what is the frequency of the all-white allele in this population?
A sample of 100 individuals from a population that is dimorphic at the A locus has genotype counts as follows. AA: 30 Aa: 60 aa: 10 a) What are the allele frequencies in the population? b) What are the expected genotype frequencies, if the population were at HardyWeinberg equilibrium? c) Is the proportion of heterozygotes lower or higher than expected at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What deviations from the assumptions of the model would best explain the observed difference?
You sample a population of 189 mule deer for ear length alleles and find that 32% have AA, 42% have AB, and 26% have BB. If the HWE expected frequencies are AA=28%, AB=50%, and BB=22%, is this locus in HWE?
