In a large population of chimpanzees, there is a recessive genetic condition telactalase (fictional). Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. If the frequency of dominant allele is 0.77 then what fraction of the population has telactalase ? Giver your answer with four digits parts the decimal point.
As shown in Figure 23.25, there is considerable variation in the facial features of humans. Explain this fact in terms of the concept of the gene pool. Figure 23.25 Humans show a great deal of variation in their outward appearance.

The magnitude of change in allele frequencies that is expected by genetic drift… Incorrect Answer - will depend on if the allele is increasing or decreasing in frequency Correct Answer - will be larger when the starting allele frequencies are equal (i.e. p = .5 and q = .5) Question: Please explain in detail why the correct answer is correct and also please explain in detail why the incoorect answer is not correct.
In a given population, the frequencies of the dominant allele (A) and recessive allele (a) of a given gene are 80% and 20%, respectively. The frequency of the Aa genotype in the above population is? (two decimal places)
Eugene Eisen selected for increased 12-day litter weight (total weight of a litter of offspring 12 days after birth) in a population of mice (E. J. Eisen. 1972. Genetics 72:129–142). The 12-day litter weight of the population steadily increased, but then leveled off after about 17 generations. At generation 17, Eisen took one family of mice from the selected population and reversed the selection procedure: in this group, he selected for decreased 12-day litter weight. This group immediately responded to the reversed selection: the 12-day litter weight dropped 4.8 g within 1 generation and dropped 7.3 g after 5 generations. On the basis of the results of the reverse selection, what is the most likely explanation for the leveling off of 12-day litter weight in the original population?
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium in a population refers to Group of answer choices equal numbers of females and males. lack of mutations affecting the observed phenotypes. equal numbers of dominant and recessive alleles. unchanging allele frequencies in successive generations. proportional numbers of each genotype.
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 deadly virus infects all of the RR mountain goats in the population (above), killing all individuals of this genotype and leaving the population with only the rr and Rr mountain goats. a) Calculate the new allele frequencies for this population. Show your work. b) Calculate the new (observed) genotypic frequencies for this population. Show your work. c) Does this population still appear to be at H-W equilibrium? Why or why not? (You do not need to analyze this statistically).
Which of these statements would be consistent with the changes we see in the frequency of the recessive allele? Natural selection has been favoring those individuals who are heterozygous alleles. Natural selection has been favoring those individuals who are homozygous for the hemoglobin S allele.
A researcher examines a locus, or marker, in which there is a particular C/T polymorphism in a population of interest. Let’s call this Locus 1. They obtain the following genotype counts in a sample of the population: CC:42, CT:16, TT:32. a) Calculate the genotype frequencies and the allele frequencies for Locus 1 in the sample.b) Calculate the observed heterozygosity (the frequency of heterozygotes) and the observed homozygosity (the total frequency of all homozygotes) in the sample. Ensure that these two frequencies add up to 1.
A student sampled a population of fruit flies in which the percentage of homozygous recessive white eyed males (rr) was 70%. Calculate a) Allele frequencies for white and red gene b) Genotypic frequencies in case of inbreeding of the population in the next generation
