- In a population of 100 pea plants, there are two variations for flower colors-- purple and white. After counting, the number of white plants were 36 plants. What would be the frequency of purple allele (p)?Assume that in a certain population of giraffes, dark brown spots are dominant to light brown spots. If the frequency of dark brown giraffes is 56%, what is the frequency of the dark brown allele? Hint: the frequency that is provided is the frequency of a specific phenotype (i.e. not a genotype frequency)Many genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell disease are due to mutations in a recessive allele. You have sampled an isolated population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate: 1g. the frequency of the recessive phenotype if "A" is completely dominant over "a” (round to the nearest hundredth)

Using that 36%, calculate: 1f. the frequency of the dominant phenotype if "A" is completely dominant over "a” (round to the nearest hundredth)Consider the case of a hypothetical genetic disease called WhySciEleven (WSE), an inherited disease that results to the inability to complete production of an amino acid “moduleactivity” that results in brain damage if untreated. WSE is due to a recessive allele. Given one WSE occurrence per 10,000 births. Which term in the Hardy-Weinberg equation corresponds to the frequency of individuals who have no alleles for the disease WSE? a. p b. 2pq c. p2 d. q2Identify each of the following as an example of allele, genotype,and/or phenotype frequency:A. Approximately 1 in 2500 individuals of Northern Europeandescent is born with cystic fibrosis.B. The percentage of carriers of the sickle cell allele in WestAfrica is approximately 13%.C. The number of new mutations per generation resultingin achondroplasia, a genetic disorder, is approximately5 × 10−5.
- Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion In a class of 13 students, 2 had type A blood, 4 had type B, I had type AB, and 6 had type O. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the frequencies of the three alleles (IA, IB , i )Polymorphism of body color is caused by two alleles in a fly. One allele's homozygotes are brown, other homozygotes allele are pale, whereas heterozygotes have orange color. This is the observation made by the experimenters: brown: 100 pale: 100 orange: 50 find the genotype frequncy under hardy-weinberg equil. and then show the calcultaions to find the coefficient of inbredding for this locus.Many genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell disease are due to mutations in a recessive allele. You have sampled an isolated population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate: 1e. the frequency of the "Aa" genotype (round to the nearest hundredth)
