There is a gene that causes people to have crumbly earwax. This gene is expressed as a complete dominant: Individuals who are homozygous dominants (CC) or heterozygous (Cc) have crumbly earwax. Homozygous recessives (cc) have gooey earwax. There are 100 people, 64 of whom have crumbly earwax. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg conditions, what is the frequency of the c allele on Paradise Island? Group of answer choices 0.80 This cannot be answered without more information. 0.60 0.36 None of the above.

In Labrador dogs, coat color is controlled by the genotypes of two genes. In one gene, the dominant allele, B, produces black fur, and the recessive allele, b, produces brown fur. However, if a second gene possesses two recessive alleles, ee, the dog produces yellow fur, regardless of the genotype of the first gene. If two dogs that are heterozygous for both genes, BbEe mated, what would be the frequency of the three phenotypes, black, brown, and yellow?
If the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by a rare clinically relevant allele is 1/8500 in a given population, what is the carrier frequency? Please give your answer as a percentage to 3 decimal places, do not include the % symbol. ANSWER: In a population where the frequency of those exhibiting a monogenic autosomal recessive phenotype caused by only one known mutation is 1/8500 the carrier frequency is a percent.
An individual with a form of red-green color blindness processes a genetically inherited trait that makes it difficult to distinguish red and green color hues. Red-green color blindness tends to skin generations and it is found much more often in men than in women. If a man who was normal and a woman who is a carrier for this form of colorblindness have a child, when the probability that the child will be red-green colorbind is: -0% -25% -50% -75% -100%
Repeat this process for the following genotypic frequencies for the presence or absence of mid-digital hair by a typical 1407 class: Frequency of homozygous dominants (HH, mid-digital hair present): 0.21 Frequency of heterozygous individuals (Hh, mid-digital hair present): 0.16 Frequency of homozygous recessives (hh, no mid-digital hair): 0.63 Total No. of alleles present: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by homozygous dominants: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by homozygous recessives: _____________ Number of dominant alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Number of recessive alleles possessed by heterozygotes: _____________ Total number of dominant alleles in the population: _____________ Frequency of the dominant allele (H) in the population: _____________ Frequency of the recessive allele (h) in the population: _____________
In a species of dog, plaid color is represented by P and purple by p, short -tailed is T and long-tailed is t. What are the genotypes of a male who is purple with a long tail, and a female who is homozygous dominant for both traits? Which answer below is true? PpTT & PPTT pptt & PPTT short-tailed purple & long tailed plaid male: purple w/ long tail & female: plaid w/ short tail
There is a species of fish in which homozygous recessive (rr) individuals are Yellow and homozygous dominant (RR) individuals are Red. Color in this species of fish exhibits incomplete dominance. If we mate a homozygous dominant individual with a heterozygous individual, what is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? Group of answer choices 2 Red : 2 Orange. 4 Red. 3 Red : 1 Yellow. 1 Red : 2 Orange : 1 Yellow.
Refsum disease is a genetic disorder that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Individuals with adult Refsum disease do not have the enzyme to breakdown phytanic acid. As a result, phytanic acid accumulates in the brain, blood, and body tissues. As the disease progresses, individuals with Refsum disease experience loss of vision, hearing, and sense of smell, as well as balance and coordination problems.In a population, the frequency of the recessive allele for Refsum disease is 0.28. What is the expected frequency of the carriers in this population? Show all your work. Record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
. If the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is 0.81, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
Your parents are studying the evolution of the pumpkin size to make the best patch in your city. 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. What is the allele frequency for the homozygous dominant allele? Please round up and your final answer should have four decimal points.
There are two alleles for the height gene, T for tall and t for short. One parent is a heterozygote, while the other is a recessive homozygotes. Which genotypes, and at which frequencies, are possible from these two parents. a.) 100% heterozygotes b.) 100% dominant homozygotes c.) 50% dominant homozygotes, 50% recessive homozygotes d.) 50% dominant homozygotes, 50% heterozygotes e.) 50% heterozygotes, 50% recessive homozygotes f.) 25% dominant homozygotes, 50% heterozygotes, 25% recessive homozygotes g.) 100% recessive homozygotes
The young woman shown at right has albinismvery pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. This phenotype is due to the absence of melanin, which imparts color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It typically is caused by a recessive allele. In the following situations, what are the probable genotypes of the father, the mother, and their children? a. Both parents have normal phenotypes; some of their children are albino and others are not. b. Both parents and all their children are albino. c. The mother is not albino, the father is albino, and one of their four children is albino.
A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
