Please help with the following: How does penetrance differ from expressivity in genetics? A. Penetrance is the percentage of individuals with a specific genotype that exhibit the expected phenotype while expressivity is the degree to which a phenotypic character is expressed. B. Penetrance is the degree of lethality of a specific genotype while expressivity is how frequently that genotype is seen in the population. C. Penetrance is the presence of more than two alleles at a locus within a group of individuals while expressivity is the influence of sex on which alleles express themselves. D. None of the above. E. Penetrance refers to the paternal effects of a gene while expressivity refers to the maternal effects of a gene.

How might the Hardy Weinberg relationship be used to evaluate a new SNP genotyping technology using multiple individuals from a population? Group of answer choices a)If genotypes match the reference genome, the technology is sound. Otherwise, the technology may have problems accurately calling SNPs. b)If observed phenotypes follow Hardy Weinberg, the technology is sound. Otherwise, the technology may have problems accurately calling SNPs. c)If genotypes and allele frequencies follow Hardy Weinberg, the technology is sound. Otherwise, the technology may have problems accurately calling SNPs. d)None of the above

Consider 10 populations that have the genotype frequencies shown in the following table: Population A/A A/a a/a 1 1.0 0.0 0.0 2 0.0 1.0 0.0 3 0.0 0.0 1.0 4 0.50 0.25 0.25 5 0.25 0.25 0.50 6 0.25 0.50 0.25 7 0.33 0.33 0.33 8 0.04 0.32 0.64 9 0.64 0.32 0.04 10 0.986049 0.013902 0.000049 a. Which of the populations are in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium? b. What are p and q in each population? c. In population 10, the A → a mutation rate is discovered to be 5 × 10 −6. What must be the fitness of the a /a phenotype if the population is at equilibrium? d. In population 6, the a allele is deleterious; furthermore, the A allele is incompletely dominant; so A/A is perfectly fit, A/a has a fitness of 0.8, and a/a has afitness of 0.6. If there is no mutation, what will p and q be in the next generation?
In a Continent Island model with two populations (one on the continent and one on the island), the island population has a gene frequency of pi = 0.4 for a particular allele, and the continent population has a gene frequency of pc = 0.6 for the same allele.

(recall: pi' = mpc + (1 - m)pi) a) 0.00 < pe < 0.25 b) 0.25 < pe < 0.50 c) 0.50 < pe < 0.75 d) 0.75 < pe < 1.00
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 )
Figure 18-22 shows 10 haplotypes from a population before a selective sweep and another 10 haplotypes many generations later after a selective sweep has occurred for this chromosomal region. There are 11 loci defining each haplotype, including one with a red allele that was the target of selection. In the figure, two loci are designated as A and B. These loci each have two alleles: one black and the other gray. Calculate the linkage disequilibriumparameter (D) between A and B, both before and after the selective sweep. What effect has the selective sweep had on the level of linkage disequilibrium?
