Which of the following statements about Hardy-Weinberg graphs is false? Group of answer choices The x-axis is always the dominant allelic frequency. The y-axis is the genotypic frequency. The maximum heterozygous genotypic frequency is where the dominant and recessive allelic frequencies intersect. As the dominant allelic frequency increases, the recessive genotypic frequency decreases.

A very large population of randomly-mating laboratory mice contains 35% white mice. White coloring is caused by the recessive genotype, "aa". Calculate allelic and genotypic frequencies for this population. recessive allele or q equals? dominant allele or p equals? homozygous dominant or p squared? heterozygous dominant or 2pq? recessive or q squared?
In a population of 1000 individuals, 150 have kinky hair, 460 have wavy hairy, and the rest have straight hair. Let us assume that hair type is governed by a pair of alleles, and there are two types of alleles, S (kinky) and s (straight), with the heterozygote condition being wavy. Compute for the allelic frequencies for hair type in the population.
In a population of 3000 fruit flies, 270 of them contain white eyes. White eye color is a recessive trait. What are the allelic frequencies for the red eye allele and white eye allele? What percent of the population will be heterozygous red? What would be the number of red eyed flies?
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
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.
There are 5 individuals in a population. Blue is dominant to orange and there is 1 homozygous dominant, 1 heterozygote, and 3 homozygous recessive individuals. What is the observed allele frequency of the orange allele?
The European land snail, Cepaea nemoralis, exhibits 3 phenotypes in shell color; brown, pink, and yellow. Shell color is controlled by one gene that has only two alleles. Brown (B) is dominant to yellow (b) and pink is the heterozygous condition. In one population of 520 snails, the following color phenotypes were recorded: 236 brown, 231 pink and 53 yellow. What are the actual allelic frequencies?
If the frequency of homozygous dominant is 33 the frequency of heterozygous is 33 and the frequency of homozygous recessive is 34. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the frequency of the recessive allele?
Assume we are examining one gene with two alleles, a dominant (p) allele and a recessive (q) allele. if a population starts with individuals as follows: 140 homozygous dominant, 40 heterozygous, and 20 homozygous recessives. What are the allelic frequencies for this population?
at what allelic frequency is the heterozygous genotype twice as frequent as the homozygous genotype in a population when in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
White wool is dependent upon a dominant allele B and black wool upon its recessive allele b. Supposes that a sample of 900 sheep of Rambouillet breed in Idaho gave the following data: 891 white and 9 black. Estimate the allelic frequencies.
Applying Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For instance, within a given sample population, you have p = 0.3. what would be the expected frequency of heterozygotes for the involved allelic pair?
