You are given the frequencies of all three genotypes (AA, Aa, aa) in a population, and all three are non-zero. Under what conditions can you determine allele frequencies? Only if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium Only if the population is NOT in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium Always: It doesn't matter whether or not the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Given below are the genotypic frequencies for a single gene with two alleles for threedifferent populations. AA Aa aaPopulation 1 0.25 0.50 0.25Population 2 0.35 0.56 0.09Population 3 0.49 0.42 0.09 Which of the following is/are NOT correct about these three populations? a. Only two of the populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. b. Population 2 is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; the frequency of allele a is 0.37. c. One must assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to calculate the allele frequencies. d. Population 1 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; the frequency of allele A is 0.5.
the frequency of allele a is 0.45 for a population inhardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What are the expectedfrequencies of genotypes AA, Aa, and aa?
In a donor population, the allele frequencies for the normal (HbA) and sickle-cell alleles (HbS) are 0.9 and 0.1 respectively. A group of 550 individuals migrates to a new population containing 10,000 individuals; in the recipient population, the allele frequencies are HbA = 0.99 and HbS =0.01. What will be the genotype frequencies of the conglomerate population in the next generation, assuming it achieves Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in one generation?
In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). In a tomato plant population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, if allele r has a frequency of 0.66, what percentage of the population is homozygous dominant for this trait? Express your answer using three significant digits. Answer%
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
If allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next, is the population definitely in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not?
If the frequency of allele b is 0.3 for a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percentage of that population would you expect to be BB, Bb, and bb?
In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 arebrownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele forbrown is denoted GB, while that for green is GG, andthese two alleles are incompletely dominant.a. What are the genotype frequencies in thepopulation?b. What are the allele frequencies of GBand GG inthis population?c. What are the expected frequencies of the genotypes if the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?
If 80% of a population has a heterozygous phenotype, and 16% of that population shows arecessive phenotype, is that population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? In other words, doesthe population obey the rules of H-W? Perform a statistical analysis to determine your finalanswer.
