In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?

. The inability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is due to a recessive allele and is inherited autosomally. If this particular trait in a population involves only two alleles in a dominant/recessive relationship (namely, taster, T; and nontaster, t) and that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Calculate the frequency of allele T if the phenotypic frequency of individuals who can taste PTC is approximately 0.7 (Give your answer in decimal number with 2 decimal places).
in sheep, black wool is determined by a Dominant Allele (B) and white wool by a Recessive Allele (b). In a population of 200 sheep, 128 of them exhibit the dominant trait of having black wool and the rest have the recessive trait of white wool. Calculate the frequencies of both the (B) and (b) alleles. Calculate the frequencies of homozygous dominant vs.heterozygous sheep, as well as the homozygous recessives individuals.
. Full color (D) is dominant over dilute color (d). Of 325 cats observed, 194 have full color and 131 have dilute color. a. If the cats are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the dilute allele? b. How many of the 194 cats with full color are likely heterozygous?
Among a particular population of 100 plants, red flowers are dominant and yellow flowers are recessive. F is the dominant allele and f is the recessive allele. 40 plants are homozygous dominant • 44 plants are heterozygous 16 plants are homozygous recessive Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate the equilibrium frequencies of each genotype
. A farmer have 2000 cows. A total of 1500 of the cows are browh coated and the rest are white coated. Allele B for the brown coat is dominant, while allele b for the white coat is recessive: Assume that the population of the cows is at genetic equilibrium and bred randomly. Calculate the frequency for the dominant and recessive alleles of the population. i. Calculate the genotype frequencies in the F1 generation if the cows are left to breed randomly. ii. If the farmer adds another 1000 homozygous dominant brown cows into the populations, calculate the new dominant allele frequency. ii. iv. State three conditions for the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium to be achieved.
Flower color in pea plants exhibits two distinct phenotypes: a purple color, exhibited by WW and Ww phenotypes; and a white color, exhibited by ww phenotypes. In a population of 100 plants, use observe that 80 exhibit the purple phenotype. What are the allele frequencies of Wand w? frequency of W = 0.55 and frequency of w= 0.45 %3! frequency of W = 0.89 and frequency of w = 0.11 frequency of W = 0.8 and frequency of w= 0.2 there is not enough information to solve this problem
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
. A chicken breeder is working with a population in whichthe mean number of eggs laid per hen in one month is 28and the variance is 5 eggs2. The narrow-sense heritabilityis known to be 0.8. Given this information, can the breeder expect that the population will respond to selectionfor an increase in the number of eggs per hen in the nextgeneration?a. No, applying selection is always risky and a breedernever knows what to expect.b. No, a breeder needs to know the broad-senseheritability to know what to expect.c. Yes, since the narrow-sense heritability is close to1 (0.8), then we would expect selective breeding couldlead to increased egg production in the next generation.d. Yes, since the variance is greater than 0.e. Both c and d are correct.
In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
In Hereford cattle, the phenotypic expression of coat pattern called line-back (a white line down the center of the back, extending almost to the tail) is considered undesirable. The gene which causes line-back is recessive and autosomal. If 7 cows out of 100 cattle express this trait, what is the allele frequency for this trait? If the line-back cows are not included in the mating population (W22=0), how many line-back cows will be found in the next generation? (Assume 100 cows in the next generation.) can u ansewer the second question
Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes c) If the butterflies were subject to predation by birds that could easily detect blue & yellow individuals what effect would you expect this to have on the genotype and allele frequencies over time? Indicate possible percentages.
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes.
