In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
There are 100 Hodags in an isolated population. Ninety-six have eyes that glow red, whereas four have eyes that glow green. If the four green-eyed hodags (4%) represent the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype, please calculate the following: 3a. the frequency of the recessive allele (round to the nearest tenth)
The following data were obtained from a Ghanaian population of 152 people. Blood Type Number of Individuals M 61 MN 64 N 27 Calculate the frequencies of the M and N alleles in this population. What are the expected numbers of individuals of each genotypic class in this population? Assume Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Use the chi-squared test to determine if these data fit the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium model. The degrees of freedom for this test should be 1. Why is this appropriate?
The ability to taste a chemical, phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is due to the dominant allele ‘T’. Those that are homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. Among a sample of 215 individuals from a population, 150 could detect the taste of PTC (TT, Tt ) and 65 could not (tt). Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the expected allele frequencies of T and t? Additionally, predict the expected numbers of the TT and Tt genotypes.
In monkeys, black coat color (B) is dominant over brown color (b). A population of monkeys was found to be composed of 67 brown coated individuals and 119 black coated individuals. What is the frequency of the b allele in this population? What is the frequency of the B allele in this population? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to have the genotype BB? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, what proportion of the population is expected to bave black coat color? Based upon the Hardy‑Weinberg formula, how many individuals in this population would be expected to have the genotype Bb?
Hardy-Weinberg Calculations Australian blood bankers said they calculated the gene frequency of the new antigen found in a native Australian as being 0.22. This antigen is co-dominant and is called Gia. What is the frequency of homozygous Gia? What is the frequency of heterozygous people? When the allele Gib is found, what would the frequency be for those that are homozygous for Gib? please explain step by step, thank you
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!
In carnations, the red pigment (RR) is incompletely dominant to white (rr). The heterozygote (Rr) is pink. In a randomly mating field of carnations, 42 plants were red, 178 plants were pink, and 180 plants were white (total =400). What is the best estimate of the allele ferequency, for the red allele in this population?
Johnston et al. estimate that 50% of males with the Ho Ho genotype develop scurs (instead of full horns). They also estimate that around 13% of the total male population, at birth, will develop scurs. The males who managed to get access to mating opportunities with females seem to show no preference for whether the females have horns or not. Thus in the adult mating population, mating is random with respect to the genotype at this locus. What is the frequency of the Hop allele in the population?
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the homozygote recessive is 0.16. What is the frequency of the heterozygote?
A population with allele frequencies p=0.6 and q=0.4 is subjected to selection against the dominant allele. If selection is completely effective (W11=0, W12=0, W22=1), what will be the frequency of the dominant allele in the next generation?
The frequency of the A1 allele is p = 0.4, and that of the A2 allele is q = 0.6. The observed genotype frequencies are as follows: f(A1A1) = 0.25 f(A1A2) = 0.36 f(A2A2) = 0.39 Is there a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the population?
