population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)

There are 5 individuals in a population. Blue is dominant to orange and there is 1 homozygous dominant, 1 heterozygote, and 3 homozygous recessive individuals. What is the observed allele frequency of the orange allele?
In a population of millipedes, the gene “R” determines their color. The color red is determined by the dominant “R” allele and the color orange is determined by the recessive “r” allele. A population of 100 millipedes consists of the following genotypes: 30 RR 44 Rr 26 rr Answer the following - You can represent the ratio/frequency as a fraction or a %. A. What is the genotypic ratio of this population of millipedes? B. What is the phenotypic ratio of this population of millipedes? C. What are the allele frequencies for “R” and “r” in this population of millipedes?
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?
What is the chi-square value of the pumpkin population? round up and use four decimal points After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size.
At least one of the discoverers of this genetic equilibrium (Hardy) developed this HW equation to show that the dominant allele will not always take over the population just because that allele has a dominant effect on the phenotype. What additional factor would have to be present to cause a dominant allele to increase to a frequency of 100%? Why is this factor essential for the dominant allele to “take over” the gene pool?
If 80% of a population has a heterozy gous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows a recessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, does the population obey the rules of H - W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your final answer.

In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
A very large population of randomly-mating laboratory mice contains 35% white mice. White coloring is caused by the recessive genotype, "aa". Calculate allelic and genotypic frequencies for this population. recessive allele or q equals? dominant allele or p equals? homozygous dominant or p squared? heterozygous dominant or 2pq? recessive or q squared?
Assuming a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 21% of a population is homozygous dominant, 50% is heterozygous, and 29% is homozygous recessive. What percentage of the next generation is predicted to be homozygous recessive? Group of answer choices 53% 29% 42% 58%
There are 350 dominant homozygotes, 75 heterozygotes, and 40 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant and how many recessive alleles are in this population? What would be their respective allele frequencies?
The Rh factor is an antigen expressed on red blood cells and is controlled by a single gene. The dominant allele RH causes a person to be Rh, positive, and the recessive allele is represented as rh. Assume that a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and 16 individuals out of 100 are Rh negative. What are the allele frequencies of RH and rh in this population? A. The allele frequency of RH is 0.80 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.20 B. The allele frequency of RH is 0.84 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.16 C. The allele frequency of RH is 0.50 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.50 D. The allele frequency of RH is 0.60 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.40
