- 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.The frequency of the A1 allele is p = 0.4, and that of the A2 allele is q = 0.6. The observed genotype frequencies are as follows: f(A1A1) = 0.25 f(A1A2) = 0.36 f(A2A2) = 0.39 Is there a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the population?In smurfs, blue tails and red tails are codominant to white tails (this is similar to blood type in humans). In a population of 200 smurfs, 6 have white tails, 93 have blue tails, 51 have red tails, and 50 have purple tails. Papa smurf has learned that the frequency of the blue tail allele is 0.53. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Be sure to do a Chi-square test and show your work.
- A population has 25 individuals of genotype AA, 25 individuals of genotype aa, and 50 individuals of genotype Aa. Is this population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not? Group of answer choices A. No because p2 + 2pq + q2 does not equal 1 B. Yes because p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 C. Yes because the genotype frequencies match HW expectations based on allele frequencies D. No because there are more heterozygotes than expected under Hardy Weinberg E. No because there are fewer heterozygotes than expected under Hardy WeinbergIn monkeys, black coat color (B) is dominant over brown color (b). A population of monkeys was found to be composed of 67 brown coated individuals and 119 black coated individuals. What is the frequency of the b allele in this population? What is the frequency of the B allele in this population? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to have the genotype BB? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to bave black coat color? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, how many individuals in this population would be expected to have the genotype Bb?A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)
- In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of the allele a is 0.1. What is the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this allele? Group of answer choices 36% 18% 48% 16% 60%About 70 percent of all Caucasians can taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide, and the remainder cannot. The ability to taste this chemical is determined by the dominant allele T, and the inability to taste is determined by the recessive allele t. If the population is assumed to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the heterozygotes frequency in this population? a. 0.7 b. 0.4 c. 0.2 d. 0.5If there are 12 rock pocket mice with dark fur and 4 with light-colored fur in a population, what is the value of q? Remember that light-colored fur is recessive. If the frequency of p in a population is 60% (0.6), what is the frequency of q? In a population of 1000 rock pocket mice, 360 have dark-colored fur. The others have light-colored fur. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percentage of mice in the population are homozygous dominant dark-colored mice?
- A population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotype. What is the allele frequency of A1? Answer to 2 decimal places.The frequency of the dominant allele “A” in an imaginary population is 0.20 (p) and the frequency of the recessive allele “a” in the population is 0.80 (q). What are the PREDICTED/EXPECTED genotype frequencies of all three genotypes (homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive) if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?the frequency of allele a is 0.45 for a population inhardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
