In a hypothetical species of mice, the shaggy gene determines hair length. S is the dominant allele and confers the short hair phenotype. Homozygous ss individuals have long hair. There are 422 long-haired mice and 278 short-haired mice in the population. What is the frequency of the SS genotype? a. 0.60      b. 0.05           c. 0.40              d. 0.22
In achondroplastic dwarfism, an autosomal dominant disease, the gene is lethal in homozygotes. If the frequency of the normal allele is 0.99, what is the heterozygote frequency? a. 0.01 b. 0.02 c. 0.98 d. 0.99       An autosomal recessive gene is lethal in homozygotes.
