There are two types of alleles:
Type B1 and Type B2
(In total there are 10)
Type B1 has 6
Type B2 has 4
Question:
What is the probability of an individual in the offspring generation being homozygous [p^2] for B1?
What is the probability of an individual in the offspring generation being homozygous [q^2] for B2?
What is the probability of an individual in the offspring gen being heterozygous[2pq]?
What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype if the homozygous genotype frequencies are 0.1385 (BB) and 0.5897 (bb)?
For the purpose of the assignment, we will refer to XY individuals as male and XX individuals as
female.
In humans, colorblindness (b) is an example of an X-linked recessive trait. In this problem, a male with
colorblindness XbY marries a female who is not colorblind but is a carrier of the colorblindness allele
(XXb). Using a Punnett square, determine the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities (as
percentages) for their potential offspring. Give the percentages in numbers, without the percent
sign, for each genotype and phenotype.

- Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a.
