Using the two equations, p + q = 1 and p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, answer the following questions. Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive condition that causes intellectual and physical disabilities, difficulty feeding, and a sweet maple syrup odor to the urine. In Costa Rica, the incidence of MSUD is calculated as approximately 1 in 8,000 newborns. Calculate the allele frequencies for the normal and disease alleles.

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?
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.) To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.
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?
