To determine: The Hardy-Weinberg equation (relation between alleles and genotype frequencies) for gene that exists in three alleles designated by A1, A2, and A3 in population in which A1, A2, and A3 is represented by p, q, and r respectively.
Introduction: The Hardy-Weinberg equation represents a mathematical model in which a single gene exists in two different forms of alleles represented by p and q. This equation is derived from the fact that at the time of fertilization, alleles combine randomly when diploid offspring are produced.
To determine: The genotype frequencies of A2A2 homozygotes and A2A3 heterozygotes.

- ACTIVITY 3: Incomplete dominance vs. codominance Coat color in dragons is controlled by 2 alleles. A black dragon is crossed with a white dragon and all of the offspring are gray. Are the alleles incompletely dominant or codominant? ___ Explain (how do you know)? What would offspring of the other type probably look like? __arrow_forwardRecall p + q = 1 p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p is the frequency of the dominant allele q is the frequency of the recessive allele p2 is the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype q2 is the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous genotype Show work for all answers In humans, wavy hair is a dominant trait and straight hair is recessive. 80% of the individuals in a population have wavy hair. Calculate the allele frequencies. In a population of lizards, the allele for short tails has a frequency of 0.2. When the population is sampled and genotyped it is found that 50% are homozygous dominant for long tails, 25% are heterozygous and 25% have short tails. Is the population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not? If not, provide a possible explanation as to why.arrow_forwardQ. 4: Given the inheritance pattern of coat color in rats described in Q 3, predict the genotype and phenotype of the parents who produced the following offspring: (a) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 3/16 black: 1/16 cream (b) 9/16 gray: 3/16 yellow: 4/16 albino (c) 27/64 gray: 16/64 albino: 9/64 yellow: 9/64 black: 3/64 cream (d) 3/8 black: 3/8 cream: 2/8 albino (e) 3/8 black: 4/8 albino: 1/8 creamarrow_forward
- Q89. Explain why evolution would favor the emergence of new incompatibility alleles, making the gene increasingly polymorphic in populations of tomatoes or petunias.arrow_forwardQ1 The heritability of a trait can vary between -1 and +1. True or false? Q2 Heritability is estimated based on the slope of a X-Y scatter plot between progeny's values (Y axis) and mid-parental values (X axis). True or false?arrow_forwardQ4. What is the relationship between the bases displayed when the arrow is pointed to the left versus when it is pointed to the right? Q5. Why do you think the bases are displayed in this way in the Genome Browser?arrow_forward
- Subject: Genetic problems 6. how would you recognize a line of garden peas that had become genotypically pure for a given trait? 7. A cross of two pink-flowered plants produces offspring whose flowers are red, pink, or white. Defining your genetic symbols, give all the different kinds of genotypes involved, and the phenotypes they represent. 9. In snapdragons, red flowers (R) are incompletely dominant to white (r), the hybrid being pink; narrow leaves (N) are incompletely dominant to broad leaves (n), the hybrid being intermediate in width ("medium"). show the genotypes and phenotypes for the progeny of a cross between a. red medium and pink medium plant b. a pink medium and white narrow c. two identical dihybrids 12. In guinea pigs, short is dominant to long. A short-haired guinea pig was mated to a long-haired one. What proportions of the offspring (F1) will be expected to be: a. homozygous short-haired b. homozygous long -haired c. heterozygous short-haired d. heterozygous…arrow_forwardQuestion:- On a gel electropherosis, there was 3 samples, trait sample , sickle cell sample , and normal sample. The trait sample travelled the furthest in this experiment. Why did the trait travel further than the others and what does this indicate about trait.arrow_forwardPlease answer fast What parts of the genome and genomic data are not well understood and still need more work? Realities and opportunities for the future?arrow_forward
- Recall p + q = 1 p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p is the frequency of the dominant allele q is the frequency of the recessive allele p2 is the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype q2 is the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous genotype Show work for all answers In a population of birds, 60 have curved beaks (a recessive trait). If the population has 400 birds, what percent of them will be heterozygous for straight beaks? How many of them will be heterozygous?arrow_forwardQ1: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if three of the homozygous black allele mice (having two black alleles) were heterozygous (having one white and one black allele) instead? Q2: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the white mice died and were therefore removed from the population? Would the black-fur-pigment allele frequency be affected? If so, how? Q3: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the gray mice died and were therefore removed from the population?arrow_forwardBased on MS- LS3-1 Can you make a model that shows how blue eyes originated? Can you include genes, chromosomes, traits, proteins, and organisms? Can you Include a Punnett Square to show how this trait could be passed on to the next generation? Note: can you include the drawing as question is suggested? can it be simpler for grade 8 levelarrow_forward
