Rabbit's ears can be either straight (dominant) or floppy (recessive). If a population of rabbits in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has 350 straight eared rabbits and 175 floppy eared rabbits, what is the allele frequency of the "straight" allele? (Hint: use the root square formula). O 0.498 O.314 0.423 O 0.05

How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Suppose that in a population the frequency of a particular recessive condition is 1/400. Assume this is locus with two alleles (A and a) in the population and that the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. What is the frequency of the carriers of this condition in the population? A. 0.9025 B. 0.0025 C. 0.05 D. 0.095 E. 0.0475
In a population of deer mice, the allele for white hair is recessive and the allele for brown hair is dominant. If the population consists of 500 individuals and the frequency of homozygous brown mice is 49%, what is the frequency of the recessive allele? Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
A hypothethical population of 10,000 humans has 6,840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2,860 individuals with blood type AB and 300 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? AA = AB = BB = What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equlibrium?
A certain autosomal recessive trait occurs in a population with a frequency of 1 in 4900. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of heterozygous carriers in this population? A.) 0.014 B.) 0.971 C.) 0.028 D.) There is not enough information to determine this.
A hypothethical population of 10,000 humans has 6,840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2,860 individuals with blood type AB and 300 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? AA = AB = BB = What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele?
10,000 individuals are sampled from a population and are found to display one of three blood types: AA with 6800 individuals, AB with 2800 individuals and type BB with 400 individuals. a) If the next generation contains 25,000 individuals, how many would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
In a dense forest, a population of squirrels has been observed for their fur color. The fur color is determined by a single gene with two alleles: B (black) and b (brown). In a sample of 100 squirrels, you observed 30 black (BB), 50 black-brown (Bb), and 20 brown (bb) individuals. Determine if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and show your work.
Use the equation p2+2pq+q2+1.0 to solve the following problem. In a population of 100 squirrels there are 64 black ones, and the remaining are white. Black (B) is the dominant allele, and the white (b) is the recessive allele. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the black squirrels that are heterozygous (BB) for their coat color. A. 0.48 B. 0.16 C.0.40 D. 0.32 E.0.64
In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 are brownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele for brown is denoted GB, and the allele for green is designated GG. These two alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. If this population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many green frogs would you expect to observe? (Remember to multiply the expected frequency by the number of frogs in the population.)
In a population of 123 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 30 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.
