How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? The MN blood group is a single-gene, two-allele system in which each allele is codominant. Why are such codominant alleles ideal for studies of allele frequencies in a population?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease mostly affecting people of European descent that is caused by a recessive allele. You sample 1000 people for this allele and find 772 homozygous normal individuals, 221 heterozygotes, and 7 people homozygous for cystic fibrosis. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
In corn, yellow kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color, W, and by its recessive allele, w, . A random sample of 100 kernels from a population that is in equilibrium reveals that 9 are yellow and 91 are white. What are the frequencies of the yellow and white alleles in this population? What is the percentage of the heterozygotes?
We toss a fair coin 60 times and get the following initial population: s1 = 1111111111 s2 = 1111011111 s3 = 1110110111 s4 = 1101010111 s5 = 1110010101 s6 = 0100110000Apply Genetic algorithm using the following rules. i. After applying fitness and rearrangement, apply crossover between:a. s1’ and s4’ after 2nd gene.b. s2’ and s5’ after 3rd gene.c. s3’ and s6’ after 4th gene.ii. Consider your chromosome as x1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10a. Mutate x3 and x5 in the updated s1’.b. Mutate x4 and x9 in the updated s2’.c. Mutate x3 in the updated s3’.iii. The updated fitnes
If there are 350 AA homozygotes, 75 AS heterozygotes, and 40 SS homozygotes in a population, how many A alleles are there? How many S alleles are there? What are their allele frequencies? Round to four decimal points.
Imagine the unlikely case that the 11 individuals represented in the gel image above were truly representative of the population. If 1 is the largest and 7 the smallest allele; what is the frequency (f) of allele 5? Give your answer as a percentage, to one decimal place, do not include the % symbol. ANSWER: The frequency (f) of allele 7 in the gel image below is ?
In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink. A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not? B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?
Suppose that you are examining a population of 100 cats. You are interested in the gene for hair length. This gene has two alternate alleles: short and long hair. If you pick any one cat from the population, how many alleles for hair length would it have? A-1 B-2 C-100 D-200 Suppose every cat in this population could somehow remove its alleles for hair length and dump them into a container. If you were to count the alleles for hair length contributed by all these cats, how many alleles would the entire population of cats have? (In other words, how many alleles would be in the container?) E-100 F-200 A dominant allele codes for short hair in cats. If a particular cat has long hair, what must be the genotype of that cat? A-Heterozygous B-Homozygous Dominant C-Heterozygous Recessive
If 80% of a population has a heterozy gous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows a recessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, does the population obey the rules of H - W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your final answer.
What is the chi-square value of the pumpkin population? round up and use four decimal points After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size.
Nieman-Pick Syndrome involves a defective enzyme, sphyngomylinase. It is usually fatal before the age of 3. The defective allele frequency is 0.01 in Ashkenazi populations. Let’s call the healthy allele A, and the lethal allele a. a) What is the frequency of allele A? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many people do you expect to have the three genotypes in a population of 10,000? b) AA:_______ c) Aa:________ d) aa:_________
Imagine that in squirrels, the gene for brown coat is coded by two alleles, D for dark brown and d for light brown. In a population of squirrels in Central Park, you identified 251 DD, 182 Dd , and 117 dd. What is the frequency of the light brown, d allele? Please use and round to four decimal points.
