This lab exercise requires that we count certain Mendelian traits among students present in the lab. Your professor will explain each trait being addressed and will then ask students to identify if they are dominant or recessive for that specific trait. The collected traits will then be plugged into the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium formula in order to calculate frequency of Homozygous dominant, Heterozygous and Homozygous recessive individuals in the same. p2 + 2pq + q2 = 100 given data: trait: hair swirl 19 individuals total. 10 had the homozygous dominant hair swirl trait: clockwise the nine other were recessive please do a step by step explanation with the calculation using this data, as I am very unfamiliar with what values mean what and the equation itself thank you!

What kind of test would best determine whether genotypic frequencies match the Hardy-Weinberg model? Group of answer choices Chi-square with three rows (homozygous dominant, heterozygous, homozygous recessive) Chi-square with two rows (dominant and recessive alleles) T-test between homozygous and heterozygous T-test between dominant and recessive alleles
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 A1A3 genotype? Assume the population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A. 0.317 B. 0.182 C. 0.03 D. 0.09 E. 0.27 F. 0.107
If a trait determined by an autosomal recessive allele occurs at a frequency of 0.25 in a population, what are the the allelic frequencies? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use A and a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively.
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.
In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, which of the following is the correct interpretation of the variables? p represents the more common allele, and q represents the less common allele p and q alleles are always the same value p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele p and q alleles are always co-dominant alleles
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.
If a trait determined by autosomal recessive allele occurs at a frequency of 0.25 in a population, what are the allelic frequencies? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and use A and a to symbolize the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Show calculation.
If 83% of the Elmo Muppet population has a condition that makes them refer to themselves in the third person, and you know that this condition is the result of the homozygous recessive genotype (ee)… Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the allelic frequency of the dominant allele (E)? ______ Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percent of the phenotypically normal population of are carriers of the recessive allele? ________ (NOTE this is asking for # that carry the allele/total "normal" population) In your answer, clearly answer with a number for both 1) and 2). Show calculations.

You are studying a population of penguins in Antarctica. Your DNA analysis of this population reveals that for the feather color pattern gene, 35 individuals are homozygous dominant, 35 individuals are heterozygous, and 30 individuals are homozygous recessive. After observing this population for several years, you repeat your DNA study and find that the current generation of penguins has 15 individuals that are homozygous dominant, 10 individuals that are heterozygous, and 75 individuals that are homozygous recessive. Which of the following hypotheses for this data would be supported by this data based on your understanding of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? This population of penguins is maintaining Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to its large population size. The penguins are randomly choosing mates, which has led to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The penguins are very isolated, which is preventing gene flow from affecting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The recessive phenotype in…
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: _____________
Do a chi square tablet for the question. I left a reference down below. Question: 3. In dihybrid cross where both parents were heterozygous for both traits, the following data was obtained: 890 dominant for both traits, 97 recessive for both traits, 315 dominant for trait 1, but recessive for trait 2, and 298 dominant for trait 2, but recessive for trait one. Perform a chi-square analysis to determine if this data agrees with the expected outcomes. State your null hypothesis as well as if the null is rejected or not.
