A mountain region has a population of 5,000 mountain goats. You score these animals for the R locus and find that this locus has two alleles, R (dominant) and r (recessive). 3200 individuals are homozygous dominant, 1,600 are heterozygous, and 200 are homozygous recessive. a) Calculate the allele frequencies for this population. Show your work. b) Calculate the observed genotypic frequencies for this population. Show your work. c) Calculate the expected genotype frequencies if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your work. d) Does this population appear to be at H-W equilibrium? Why or why not? (You do not need to analyze this statistically).
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) What is the frequency of each genotype in the population? b) What is the frequency of the A allele? c) What is the frequency of the B allele?
While studying the frequency of sickle-cell disease ("sickle cell anemia") in a population living in sub-Saharan Africa, you obtain the following data from a sample of n= 100 people (note that I chose a simpler system for identifying the alleles rather than using "Hb S" for sickle cell allele), which is the actual name and what you used in lab). What is the frequency of the sickle cell allele (b) in the sample below from a human population? Sample Data BB-60 individuals (No sickle cell disease) Bb-30 individuals (No sickle cell disease) bb-10 individuals (Sickle cell disease) 1. 0.25 2. 0.10 3. 0.35 4. 0.60 5. 0.20
Researchers studied the blood types of indigenous populations in the Andes. They used a two-allele typing system (M and N alleles). In one population the genotypic frequencies were: f (MM) = 0.70, f (MN) = 0.20, f (NN) = 0.10. What are the frequencies of M and N alleles for this population? Answer choices f(M) = 0.80 and f(N) = 0.20 f(M) = 0.70 and f(N) = 0.30 f(M) = 0.49 and f(N) = 0.01 f(M) = 0.90 and f(N) = 0.10 f(M) = 0.50 and f(N) = 0.50
A given autosomal locus has three possible alleles (A1, A2, and A3). Assuming that the numbers of individuals with the six possible genotypes are as follows, what would be the frequency of the A1 allele in the population? A1A1 = 30 A1A2 = 27 A2A2 = 12 A1A3 = 17 A2A3 = 10 A3A3 = 4 What is the frequency of A1 allele in the population? A. 0.375 B. 0.52 C. 0.305 D. 0.175 E. 0.74

The Rh factor is an antigen expressed on red blood cells and is controlled by a single gene. The dominant allele RH causes a person to be Rh, positive, and the recessive allele is represented as rh. Assume that a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and 16 individuals out of 100 are Rh negative. What are the allele frequencies of RH and rh in this population? A. The allele frequency of RH is 0.80 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.20 B. The allele frequency of RH is 0.84 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.16 C. The allele frequency of RH is 0.50 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.50 D. The allele frequency of RH is 0.60 and the allele frequency of rh is 0.40
In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
