QUESTION 3

Which of the following is a false statement about the Hardy-Weinberg Principle?

	a.	It needs a large population
	b.	No mutations or natural selection of an allele can occur
	c.	It requires a random mating population.
	d.	Migration is essential to maintain allelic frequency

Definition Definition Principle that states that allele and genotype frequencies in any population will remain constant from one generation to another in the absence of other evolutionary forces. The Hardy-Weinberg principle is used for testing genotype frequency for population stratification and other non-random mating forms.

Question 5 A rather large population of organisms have 396 red-sided individuals and 557 tan-sided individuals. Assume that red is totally recessive. Please calculate the following: a) The allele frequencies of each allele b) The expected genotype frequencies. c) The number of heterozygous individuals that you would predict to be in this population. d) The expected phenotype frequencies. e) Conditions happen to be really good this year for breeding and next year there are 1,245 offspring. Assuming that all of the Hardy-Weinberg conditions are met, how many of these would you expect to be red-sided and how many tan-sided?

Question 3. There are 100 students in a class. Ninety-six did well in the course whereas four blew it totally and received a grade of F. Sorry. In the highly unlikely event that these traits are genetic rather than environmental, if these traits involve dominant and recessive alleles, and if the four (4%) represent the frequency of the homozygous recessive condition, please calculate the following: A) The frequency of the recessive allele. B) The frequency of the dominant allele. C) The frequency of heterozygous individuals. Question 4 Within a population of butterflies, the colour brown (B) is dominant over the colour white (b). And, 40% of all butterflies are white. Given this simple information, which is something that is very likely to be on an exam, calculate the following: A) The percentage of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous. B) The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals. Question 5 A rather large population of organisms have 396 red-sided individuals…
QUESTION 31 You are examining a population that has recently been subject to artificial selection for larger filet size (body size) through selective breeding in a commercial fishery. The artificial selection took quite a few generations, but the researchers were eventually successful. Which of the following statements is most likely true? a. There is likely no correlation between parent and offspring filet size (body size). b. The population experiencing artificial selection always has higher fitness than wild populations. c. The offspring of the selected population will, on average, be larger than the wild populations. d. The filet size (body size) of the fish is most likely controlled by a single gene.
Question 1.You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: A) The frequency of the "aa" genotype. B) The frequency of the "a" allele. C) frequency of the a allele, then the frequency is 60%.

Calculate allelic and genotypic frequencies for this population.
