Consider the case of a hypothetical genetic disease called WhySciEleven (WSE), an inherited disease that results to the inability to complete production of an amino acid “moduleactivity” that results in brain damage if untreated. WSE is due to a recessive allele. Given one WSE occurrence per 10,000 births. Which term in the Hardy-Weinberg equation corresponds to the frequency of individuals who have no alleles for the disease WSE? a. p b. 2pq c. p2 d. q2
ln a population of turtles, there are yellow-green shells and green shells. The yellow shells are caused by a homozygous recessive gene and the green shells are caused by the dominant gene. Given the following data:AA = 340Aa = 270aa = 120 a) Calculate p and q. b) Use a chi square test to determine if these alleles are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

In a herd of dairy cattle, milk yield and the percentage of butterfat exhibit a geneticcorrelation of −0.38. If greater milk yield is selected in this herd, what will be the effecton the percentage of butterfat?
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.) To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.
Whether or not a person has cheek dimples is an autosomally inherited character due to variation in a single gene. Having cheek dimples (D) is dominant to not having cheek dimple s (d).In a population of 28,000 Greek children, 3,500 had cheek dimples and the rest did not. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, A. what are the frequencies of the two alleles? B. how many of the children do you expect to be heterozygous?
Suppose that in a population of Peacocks the phenotypic variance for tail length is 2.5 and the heritability for this trait is 0.4. From a long-term captive population you also have data from a line of completely inbred individuals. In this line the phenotypic variance among individuals is 0.50. Assume that there is no epistatic variance (VI) for this trait. Calculate the following: What is the total genetic variance for tail length? What is the additive genetic variance? What is the dominance genetic variance? What is the environmental variance? What is the broad-sense heritability (H2)?
Suppose the frequency of the recessive allele a for the recessive condition albinism is 0.2 Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. What is the frequency of albinism in the general population? What fraction of the population are carriers?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease. In a population of one hundred individuals, twenty-five are found to have the disease. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the percent of the population that are carriers for cystic fibrosis

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
If there is no genetic variation within a population for a given trait, what is the heritability for the trait in the population?
Connection to Quantitative traits: SNPs are inherited in a Mendelian fashion and are often polygenic in nature. We can think of SNPs in terms of either contributing or non-contributing alleles. A study of SNPs correlated with heart disease has shown that heart problems are severe if 9 or more of the alleles at 6 loci are of the contributing variety. What is the probability the following parents will have a child that is susceptible heart disease? AaBbccDDEEFf x AaBbCCDdEeff
