Within a randomly mating population of mammals, the homozygous presence of the recessive allele a causes white spotting in the fur, while the presence of dominant allele A causes solid color. A survey was made and of 137 tagged, 4 were spotted. What is the frequency of the recessive gene, of the dominant allele, and of the heterozygote?

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?
In a certain breeding population, it is known for certain that only 9.8% of the individuals are "true-breeding" for the dominant phenotype. What would be the predicted frequency of individuals that are "true-breeding" for the recessive phenotype?
In a certain breeding population , it is known for certain that only 7.8% of the individuals are "true breeding" for the dominant phenotype. What would be the predicted frequency of individuals that are "true-breeding" for the recessive phenotype?
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?
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 190 out of 1000 individuals have polydactyly. Note that the trait is dominant. a. What is the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles? b. How many are expected to be heterozygotes for the trait? c. How many are expected to be homozygous dominant?
For goldfish, solid orange coloring is dominant while orange with black spots is recessive. A total of 2500 goldfish were stocked in an outdoor pond, 2275 solid orange and 225 orange with black spots. Since the fish came from a protected, indoor, stable environment, you may assume the stocked population was in equilibrium. What are the and genotype frequencies in the original stocked population?
Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controlled by two alleles. In a population of 100 mice, 30 are homozygous dominant, 50 are heterozygous dominant, and 20 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population?
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?
In a population of 500 individuals in Near East, the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles for autosomal recessive genetic disease PKU are 0,89 and 0,11 respectively. A is used to indicate the dominant allele, a is used to indicate the recessive allele. Assuming random mating, what are the expected genotype frequencies?
within a randomly mating population of beagles, the homozygous presence of the recessive allele 'm' causes lemon color pattern, while the presence of dominant allele M produce a tri-color pattern. A survey was made in a town and of the 167 tagged, 83 has lemon color. Question: Determine the frequency of the dominant allele; number of animals have the dominant allele; number of animals that are heterozygous; number of animals that have homozygous recessive gene.
In a lab population of mice, a locus affecting fur color has 2 alleles. The B allele produces brown fur, while the b allele produces white fur. Heterozygote individuals (Bb) have beige fur. In a sample of 150 mice, 48 mice have white fur, and 13 have beige fur. What is the frequency of the B allele? Answer with two decimals precision (0.00).
