Summary Introduction
Introduction: A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium where the allele and genotype frequencies remain constant over generations. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium follows the given equation, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where, p2 represents the dominant homozygous genotype, q2 represents the recessive homozygous genotype and 2pq represent the heterozygous genotype.

10,000 individuals are sampled from a population and are found to display one of three blood types: AA with 6800 individuals, AB with 2800 individuals and type BB with 400 individuals.
a) What is the frequency of each genotype in the population?
b) What is the frequency of the A allele?
c) What is the frequency of the B allele?
d) If the next generation contains 25,000 individuals, how many would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
In experiment of genetic drift, suppose you have a population of 300 butterflies. if the population experiences a net growth of 12% in the following year, how many butterflies do you have? Now supposed you have 300 eggs, but only 70% of those eggs become caterpillars, and only 80% of the caterpillars become adult butterflies. How many butterflies do you have? (For simplicity, assume that all butterflies survive to the next year in this example.)
In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink.
A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not?
B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?

- Consider a hypothetical beetle whose back abdomen pattern is determined by two alleles A1 and A2. Beetles that are homozygous for the 'A1' allele have solid coloring, beetles that are heterozygous (A1A2) are spotted, and beetles that are homozygous for the A2 allele are striped. You find a population of 100 of these beetles and count each phenotype (shown below). TRUE or FALSE: this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What is the predicted frequency of spotted beetle? Solid Beetles = 49 Spotted Beetles = 35 Striped Beetles = 16 asap pleasearrow_forwardA group of four birds flies to a new location and initiates a new colony. Three of the birds are homozygous AA, and one bird is heterozygous Aa. A. What is the probability that the a allele will become fixed in the population via genetic drift? B.

- In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 are brownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele for brown is denoted GB, and the allele for green is designated GG. These two alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. If this population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many green frogs would you expect to observe? (Remember to multiply the expected frequency by the number of frogs in the population.)arrow_forwardThe frequency of a recessive allele in a population is 40%.
