SCENARIO 3: The ability to taste PTC is due to a single dominate allele "T". You sampled 215 individuals in the College, and determined that 150 could detect the bitter taste of PTC and 65 could not. Calculate ✓ The frequency of the recessive allele and the dominant allele. in the population ✓ The expected genotypic frequencies in the population: TT - Tt= ✓ The number of heterozygous individuals that you would predict to be in the population - tt =

INTERPRET DATA The genotype frequencies of a population are determined to be 0.6 BB. 0.0 Bb, and 0.4 bb. Is it likely that this population meets all the conditions required for genetic equilibrium?
The MN blood group is of interest to population geneticists because (a) people with genotype MN cannot receive blood transfusions from either MM or NN people (b) the MM, MN, and NN genotype frequencies can be observed directly and compared with calculated expected frequencies (c) the M allele is dominant to the N allele (d) people with the MN genotype exhibit frequency-dependent selection (e) people with the MN genotype exhibit heterozygote advantage
INTERPRET DATA In a population at genetic equilibrium, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (tt) is 0.16. What are the allele frequencies of T and t, and what are the expected frequencies of the TT and Tt genotypes?
Example: I go to a different population of fruit flies that have the same two alleles for eye-color. I suspect that the alleles occur in different frequencies in this second population. I sample 1000 flies and discover 10 that have brown eyes. What are the estimated frequencies of the "R" and "r" alleles in this population? Answer: Again, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. The term q2 = the relative frequency of homozygous recessive individuals, which corresponds to the ten brown-eyed flies I counted out of 1000 flies sampled. Thus, q2 = 10/1000 = 1/100. q = the square root of 1/100 or 0.1. Thus the frequency of "r" in this second population is 0.1 and the frequency of the "R" allele is 1 - q or 0.9. Problem 1: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease caused by the build-up of the byproducts of metabolizing phenylalanine. It is caused by a defective, recessive allele. If a child is homozygous for this recessive allele, it will develop PKU. In the United States, PKU is detected in approximately 1 in 10,000…
A population of birds has two alleles encoding for three different phenotypes: long wings, wingsss, and mid-length wings. . The initial frequency of the Sallele was 0.63 and the sallele was 0.37. However 97% of the long-winged birds survived to reproductive age56% of mid-length birds survived to reproductive age, and only 10% of short-winged birds survived to reproductive age. You are going to determine if natural selection has an effect on the allele frequency What is the expected frequency of the Sallele in the next generation when you incorporate the survival rate? Please use as many decimals points as possible when doing your calculations. Please answer using four decimal points. (Your population can be 100 or 1000 individuals or any numberreally up to you.I work with 1000but that won't change the results because we are talking about frequency.)
Three genotypes occur in a population of birds: DD, Dd, and dd. D is the dominant allele, and encodes the dark - coloured birds; light - coloured mice have the genotype dd. There are initially 60 DD, 60 Dd, and 60 dd birds in a population, and the selection coefficient against light - coloured birds is 0.4. If 80% of each dark - coloured genotype survives (48 DD and 48 Dd), how many light-coloured birds would you expect to see in the next generation?
In mice, the waltzing allele (w) that causes the mouse to run in circles due to an inner ear defect is recessive to the non-waltzing allele (W).In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of 150 mice, 50% of the alleles are non-waltzing. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?Record your answer as a whole number percentage.
A species of fox may be brown (the dominant phenotype) or white (the recessive phenotype). Brown foxes have the genotype BB or Bb. White foxes have the genotype bb. The frequency in a population of foxes of the BB genotype is 0.27 B. Assuming that this population is operating under HWE, calculate the following: What is the frequency of the B allele in this population? What is the frequency of the b allele in this population? What is the frequency of heterozygous foxes in this population?
In mice, the waltzing allele (w) that causes the mouse to run in circles due to an inner ear defect is recessive to the non-waltzing allele (W).In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of 150 mice, 15% of the alleles are non-waltzing. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?Record your answer as a whole number percentage. Answer%
n the 1960s, a population of squirrels (Sciurus carolensis) was being studied in Alabama and the coat color of the squirrels was found to range from the more common gray color (dominant) to the less common red color (recessive). When they sampled an area, they found 536 gray squirrels and 64 red squirrels. Assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 1B. What is the frequency of the homozygous recessive individuals?(Put your answer here rounded to the nearest hundredth)
In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is 0.09. What is the frequency of individuals that are homozygous for the dominant allele?
