Phenotype to Population: 1. Describe how the phenotype of individuals with sickle cell disease influences how common the Hbs allele is in the population: Do individuals with sickle-cell disease typically have many offspring? What effect does the fact that individuals with sickle-cell disease do not produce many offspring have on the frequency of the Hbs allele in the population over time? Given this, do you expect the Hbs allele to be common of rare in populations?

Allele frequencies: p+q = 1 Genotype frequencies: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1_________________________________________________ 1. If 9% of an African population is born with a severe form of sickle-cell anemia (ss), what percentage of the population will be more resistant to malaria because they are heterozygous(Ss) for the sickle-cell gene? 2. This is a classic data set on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Coloration in this species had been previously shown to behave as a single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance. Data for 1612 individuals are given below: White-spotted (AA) =1469 Intermediate (Aa) = 138 Little spotting (aa) =5 Calculate the following frequencies: A=, a=, AA=, Aa=, aa=
27. Which of the following statements best explains the prevalence and geographic distribution of sickle cell anemia allele (HbS). The homozygotes for normal hemoglobin protein are always at an advantage in all environments. Homozygous recessive individuals are selected for in malarial environments. Heterozygous individuals are at a selective advantage in malarial environments. Sickle cell anemia is found in high frequencies only among West Africans and their descendants. none of the above.
Please answer fast Question 1: A male does not have the symptons of sickle cell disease or Marfans, while his wife has Marfans but shows no symptoms for sickle cell disease, even in an environment of low oxygen conditions. Use the letters S/s for the alleles for sickle cell disease and M/m for the alleles of Marfan. Respectively, what are the genotypes of the man and the woman? Question 2. Using question 1, answer the following: How many gametes, respectively, can the man and the woman each make? What are the genotypes of this couple's potential children? What are the phenotypes of this couple's potential children? What is the ratio of these phenotypes?
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion 9% of the population in the U.S. are carriers for sickle cell anemia, what % would you expect to have SCD?. What is the frequency of each allele?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion The allele for normal haemoglobin in red blood cells is HbA. In some parts of Africa where malaria occurs there is a high frequency in the population of the allele HbC. Individuals possessing the HbC allele have a lower chance of developing severe malaria. Severe malaria causes a large number of deaths in Africa. Explain the high frequency of the HbC allele in areas where malaria occurs. -3m
The frequency of a recessive disease is 9%. What is the frequency of the allele that causes the disease? What is the frequency of the dominant allele? What is the frequency of the carriers (heterozygotes) of the disease?
In a sex linked recessive disease, the frequency of the causative allele is 0.4. What is the genotype frequency among males? In addition, what is the genotype frequency of heterozygous female population?
Zoe has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following is the most likely explanation? Zoe probably inherited one faulty allele from her father, who is a earner, and one normal allele from her mother. Zoe probably inherited one faulty allele from her mother, who must also have cystic fibrosis, and one normal allele from her father. Zoe must have inherited faulty alleles from both parents, both of whom must also have cystic fibrosis, Zoe must have inherited faulty alleles from both parents, both of whom are earners.
Written Response 1a) Identify the genotypes of individuals ii-1, ii-4, iii-4, and IV-1. b) If individual III-9 and individual III-10 have another child, what is the probability that this child will have normal colour vision?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion What is the expected (predicted) frequency of the A2 allele if it is observed that 26 individual have the homozygous dominant genotype, 62 individuals have the heterozygous genotype and 75 individuals have the homozygous recessive genotype?
16% of the population is homozygous recessive for a trait. What are the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles of that trait?
While studying the frequency of sickle-cell disease ("sickle cell anemia") in a population living in sub-Saharan Africa, you obtain the following data from a sample of n= 100 people (note that I chose a simpler system for identifying the alleles rather than using "Hb S" for sickle cell allele), which is the actual name and what you used in lab). What is the frequency of the sickle cell allele (b) in the sample below from a human population? Sample Data BB-60 individuals (No sickle cell disease) Bb-30 individuals (No sickle cell disease) bb-10 individuals (Sickle cell disease) 1. 0.25 2. 0.10 3. 0.35 4. 0.60 5. 0.20
