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.
If all copies of a given locus have the same allele throughout the population, the allele frequency is (a) 0 (b) 0.1 (c) 0.5 (d) 1.0 (e) 10.0
You measure the effects of a single allele (Y) on fitness in two populations of spiders, Population A and Population B. Population A lives near agricultural fields where the pesticide is sprayed regularly. The average excess of fitness of the Y allele (aY) in Population A is 1.0, and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0. Population B lives in a remote forest and is never exposed to pesticides. The average excess of fitness of the Y allele (aY) in Population B is 1.8 and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0. a) In which mosquito population is the frequency of the Y allele going to change faster? (A,B) b) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the Y allele (pY) in Population B (increase, decrease,stay the same)
In a hypothetical population of 1000 people, test of blood type genes show that 150 have the genotype AA, 550 have the genotype AB, and 300 have the genotype BB. Calculate the allele and genotype frequencies for this population (calculate to 2 significant figures): Allele frequencies Frequency of the A allele: p = _________ Frequency of the B allele: q = _________ Genotype frequencies Frequency of AA: p2 = __________ Frequency of BB: q2 = __________ Frequency of AB: 2pq = _________
In a hypothetical bug population, color is determined by a single gene and black is dominant over white. The frequency of the black allele is 0.1. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what percentage of the bugs would you expect to be white? Please show your work.
The table below records information on a gene with two alleles, Z and Y, in four different populations. Use this information to answer the following questions. Based on the table, which of the following statements is true? Population Frequency of allele Z Population size Fitness of ZZ Fitness of ZY Fitness of YY A 1.0 200 0.84 0.84 1.0 B 0 320,000 0.84 0.84 1.0 C 0.93 130,000 0.84 0.84 1.0 D 0.99 1,450,000 1.0 1.0 0.62 A.) populations C's allele frequencies are mainly driven by genetic drift B.) Mutation rates are high in population D C.) natural selection is favoring allele A in population C D.) migration is occuring between populations C and D
A researcher is studying two fly populations. Population A have stubbly bristles that are shorter and blunter than population B and are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length and homozygous for the ebony gene which affects body colour. Population B have longer tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. They are not ebony and have brown bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a different gene that affects bristle length to population A and are homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. Table 1: F1 ebony flies - 0 F1 non-ebony flies - 560 F1 stubble flies - 560 F1 non-stubble flies - 0 Draw two separate Punnett Squares to illustrate the P1 cross - one for the stubbly alleles and one for the ebony alleles showing the individual gametes of each parent and the combination in the resulting F1 offspring.
A population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotype. What is the allele frequency of A1? Answer to 2 decimal places.
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?
if an allele for a gene is fixed the frequency cannot change, which of the following statements is true? All members of the population are heterozygous There are at least 3 phenotypes related to that gene represented in the population The population is more genetically diverse because that allele is fixed None of the above
Consider a population in which the frequency of allele A is p = 0.7 and the frequency of allele a is q = 0.3, and where the alleles are codominant. What will be the allele frequencies after one generation if the following occurs? (a) wAA = 1, wAa = 0.9, waa = 0.8 (b) wAA = 1, wAa = 0.95, waa = 0.9 (c) wAA = 1, wAa = 0.99, waa = 0.98 (d) wAA = 0.8, wAa = 1, waa = 0.8
In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of the allele a is 0.1. What is the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this allele? Group of answer choices 36% 18% 48% 16% 60%
