How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
A large, random mating population is started with thefollowing proportion of individuals for the indicatedblood types:0.5 MM0.2 MN0.3 NNThis blood type gene is autosomal, and the M and Nalleles are codominant.a. Is this population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?b. What will be the allele and genotype frequenciesafter one generation under the conditions assumedfor Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?c. What will be the allele and genotype frequenciesafter two generations under the conditions assumedfor Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disease that afflicts approximately 1 in 12 African Americans, meaning that the frequency of ss homozygotes is 0.09. Assuming the African American population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of Ss carriers in this population?
If you survey the genotype frequencies at locus E, which has alleles E (frequency =p) and e (frequency=q), and find that p2 + 2pq + q2 is much greater than 1, you can confidently conclude that Group of answer choices you made a math error the allele frequencies must also sum to greater than 1 the population is not at HWE with respect to locus E the population is not at HWE with respect to any loci
. A chicken breeder is working with a population in whichthe mean number of eggs laid per hen in one month is 28and the variance is 5 eggs2. The narrow-sense heritabilityis known to be 0.8. Given this information, can the breeder expect that the population will respond to selectionfor an increase in the number of eggs per hen in the nextgeneration?a. No, applying selection is always risky and a breedernever knows what to expect.b. No, a breeder needs to know the broad-senseheritability to know what to expect.c. Yes, since the narrow-sense heritability is close to1 (0.8), then we would expect selective breeding couldlead to increased egg production in the next generation.d. Yes, since the variance is greater than 0.e. Both c and d are correct.
In a population of 123 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 30 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place.
In a population of 265 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 59 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype?
Which of the following statements would be true of ahuman trait that has high heritability in a populationof one country?a. The phenotypic difference within monozygotic twinpairs would be about the same as the phenotypic differences among members of dizygotic twin pairs.b. Very little phenotypic variation exists betweenmonozygotic twins but high variability exists between dizygotic twins.c. The trait would have the same heritability in a population of another country
For a locus with two alleles (B and b) in a population at riskfrom an infectious neurodegenerative disease, 16 individualshave the genotype BB, 92 individuals have Bb and 12individuals have bb. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation todetermine whether this population appears to be evolving.
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?
Small population size causes genetic drift because ofchance sampling of different alleles from one generation to the next. We can predict how much geneticdrift occurs for a given population size using binomialsampling statistics. With a population of size N, wecan estimate that 95% of the time the allele frequency(p) in the next generation will be withinthe confidence interval of p ± 1.96 (√p(1 − p)2N ),where p(1 − p)2Nis an estimate of the statistical variancein allele frequencies from one generation to the nextwith random sampling of 2N alleles each generation. a. What is the confidence interval for p = 0.5 whenN = 100,000?b. What is the confidence interval for p = 0.5 whenN = 10?c. How are the results in parts (a) and (b) related tothe consequences of a population bottleneck?
Different species of crickets have distinct songs, andthey use these songs for mate recognition. Researcherscrossed two species of Hawaiian crickets (Laupala paranigra and L. kohalensis) whose songs are distinguishedby pulse rate (the number of pulses per second; Shaw etal., Molecular Ecology 16, 2007, 2879–2892.) Then, theymapped QTL in the F2 population derived from thiscross. Six autosomal QTL were detected. The mean traitvalues (pulses per second) at the three genotypic classesin the F2 for each QTL are shown in the table below,where P indicates the L. paranigra allele and K indicatesthe L. kohalensis allele.a. Calculate the additive (A) and dominance (D) effectsand the D/A ratio for each of the six QTL.b. Which of these QTL shows the greatest amount ofdominance?c. Which of these has the largest additive effect?d. The mean pulse rate for L. kohalensis is 3.72, and it is0.71 for L. paranigra. Do all six QTL act in the expecteddirection with the L. kohalensis allele conferring a…
