Under genetic drift, if an allele’s frequency is 1%, what is the likelihood that it will be lost from the population? part B; Construct a graph that describes the likelihood of fixation of a particular allele, for a small population that is under Wright-Fisher genetic drift. Don’t forget to label axes completely.

Assume that the frequency of gene B in a hypothetical population Is 0.63, that there are only two alleles (B and b) of the gee in the population, that allele B is dominant over allele b, that neither allele has a selective advantage over the other, and that the population is at equilibrium with regard to this particular gene. What proportion of the population is expected to have the phenotype specified by the B allele according to the Hardy-Weinberg formula? 0.47 0.87 0.67 0.40 0.37
There are two existing hypotheses for an unusually high frequency of a deleterious recessive allele in a certain population other than it is hidden in the heterozygous genotype and not exposed to selection. Explain what these two likely hypotheses are and how you could distinguish between them based on your understanding of the applicable assumptions that are part of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Model
In corn, yellow kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color, W, and by its recessive allele, w, . A random sample of 100 kernels from a population that is in equilibrium reveals that 9 are yellow and 91 are white. What are the frequencies of the yellow and white alleles in this population? What is the percentage of the heterozygotes?
Suppose the frequency of the recessive allele a for the recessive condition albinism is 0.2 Assume the Hardy-Weinberg distribution. What is the frequency of albinism in the general population? What fraction of the population are carriers?
The magnitude of change in allele frequencies that is expected by genetic drift… Incorrect Answer - will depend on if the allele is increasing or decreasing in frequency Correct Answer - will be larger when the starting allele frequencies are equal (i.e. p = .5 and q = .5) Question: Please explain in detail why the correct answer is correct and also please explain in detail why the incoorect answer is not correct.
Consider an autosomal locus with alleles A and a. If the the allele frequencies are as follows Freq(A) = 0.4, Freq(a) = 0.6. , then what is the predicted frequency of heterozygous Aa individuals, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Freq(Aa) = ? Enter a number between 0 and 1, inclusive, for example 0.33
Eye color in a species of fruitfly is determined by a single locus with two alleles: E and e. EE individuals have red eyes, Ee have pink eyes, and ee individuals have brown eyes. In a lab population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 27 flies with brown eyes out of 164. How many flies can you expect to have red eyes? Round your answer to the closest integer value.
In mice, black fur (W) is dominant over white fur (w). In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 167 mice out of 225 have white fur. Calculate the number of mice that are heterozygous dominant for the fur colour gene in the population. Show all work. Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number:
