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?
There are 350 dominant homozygotes, 75 heterozygotes, and 40 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant and how many recessive alleles are in this population? What would be their respective allele frequencies?
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?
There are 100 dominant homozygotes, 100 heterozygotes, and 100 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant alleles and how many recessive alleles are in this population? What would be their respective allele frequencies?
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?
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 would be the frequency of the A1A1 genotype? Assume the population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. 0.182 B. 0.27 C. 0.107 D. 0.317 E. 0.09 F. 0.03
a.)If the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, what is the frequency of the genotype that is homozygous for this allele (that is, that genotype has two copies of this allele)? b.) If we know that the frequency of an allele at a locus of interest is 0.57, we have enough information to calculate the frequency of the related phenotypes in the population, assuming there are only two alleles.
There are 60 dominant homozygotes, 100 heterozygotes, and 25 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant alleles are in the population? How many recessive alleles are in the population? For these alleles, what would be the allele frequencies of both?
If a disease determined by autosomal recessive heredity occurs at a frequency of 0.04 in a population, what is the frequency of this disease allele in the population? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use Aand a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.
A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?
If the frequency of a dominant allele “B” in a population is 80%, and assuming genetic equilibrium in this population, what percentage of the offspring in the next generation could be expected to have the heterozygous genotype?
