5. In a population genetic study of a species of California wild oat, the following genotype frequencies were found for a trait (hairiness of the leaf sheath) which is controlled by a single locus:HH 0.571 Hh 0.071 hh 0.358a) What are the expected frequencies of these genotypes under Hardy-Weinberg? b) Calculate F. c) Briefly explain what the value in b) implies regarding heterozygosity and suggest what might be going on in this population to explain this result.

1. a) If you were at risk of a fatal disease such as Huntington’s disease and only the 95% accurate preliminary genetic test was available, would you take the test? After all, 95% of the time the test would tell you whether you would eventually get Huntington’s disease or whether you did not have to worry about getting this disease. b) The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?
1. A new species of animal called the rekamriliob has been found in the wild. The lab you work in has been tasked with studying its genetics. So far, there have been 2 main phenotypes found in the wild. Through selective breeding, your lab has determined that the gene for purple color (P) is dominant to the gene for golden color (p). Another lab has determined that the thick limb trait is dominant to the thin limb variety. If you breed a purebred purple thick limbed rekamreliob male with a golden thin limbed female, you get 100% thick limed offspring that are purple in color. If you take two of these organisms and breed them together, please predict the following. Assume that rekameliobs lay an average of 32 eggs. The gametes produced if the genes are unlinked b. genes The expected numbers of the possible phenotype in the offspring with unlinked The gametes produced if the genes are linked (list all possibilities, and show which ones are the result of crossing over) d. List the…

1. The first genetic test used a short DNA sequence that was closely linked to the Huntington’s locus. The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. a. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family (over 2,000 individuals), what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? b. What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?

1. describes two independent sources of evidence that have been used to estimate when maize was first domesticated: genetic evidence and archaeological evidence. a. How did archaeological evidence support the genetic evidence for the timing and geographic location of maize domestication? b. Describe this archaeological evidence.
1) Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high.a) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant? b) What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm? c) What would be the size and genotype of the F1 from a cross between a true-breeding 11 cm plant and a true-breeding 47 cm plant? d) The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype? e) In a cross between a 29cm plant and a 20cm plant what would be the genotypes giving the smallest number of different phenotypes? specify the phenotypes observed.
8 Rosettes are the dominant coat type (R) in guinea pigs while smooth coat is recessive (r). Of 1630 guinea pigs observed on an expedition in South America, 1190 have rosettes and 440 present with a smooth coat. a. If this muddle of guinea pigs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the hair coat locus, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
4. In cocker spaniels, the following genotypes and phenotypes are found:AABB = white A-bb = red aabb = lemon AaB- = black aaB- = liver AABb = greyb. What proportion of these offspring would be expected to be black?
6. In a population of mice, coat color is controlled by a single additive locus. BB mice are black, bb mice are white, and Bb mice are grey. The population is currently in HWE, with 1% of the mice having the white phenotype. Grey mice have twice as many offspring as black or white mice. What will be the frequency of the b allele in the next generation? The answer is supposed to be 0.16, can you explain how to get to this?
