Question
-
1) In smurfs, blue tails are dominant to red tails. You observe the following distribution in a smurf population:
214 blue tailed individuals genotype BB
37 blue tailed individuals genotype Bb
19 red tailed individuals genotype bb
Is this population in HW equilibrium for the blue tail gene? Show your work. If the population is not in HW equilibrium, what might me causing the disequilibrium?

How many squirrels in the population are homozygous dominant for this allele? Assume that the population is in H.W. equilibrium for this allele. 1b) In a population of dandelions the frequency of the recessive allele that codes for long petals is .2 (20%). What proportion of the population is homozygous for the recessive allele?

- In the Paraguayan Easter Atlantic Forest, a mating between a homozygous black yaguarundi and a homozygous blond yaguarundi will produce all brown yaguarundi offspring. When these brown F₁ yaguarundies are mated, their offspring consists of 2 white, 31 black, 154 brown, and 17 blond yaguarundies. A) Name what genetic interaction or ratio (depending on the ratio expected) may be occurring in this population? B) What are the observed and expec phenotypic ratios for these F2 progeny? C) Use a Chi-squared analysis to test your hypothesis (set a = 0.05). Be sure to report all values used in your comparisons (p-values, critical values, alpha value, df, etc), your hypothesis, and show your work.arrow_forwardA different locus codes for drought tolerance in desert tortoises. On average during a drought, genotype AA produces 7 offspring, genotype AB produces 8 offspring, and genotype BB produces 3 offspring. The genotype frequencies in 2019 are 10% AA, 10% AB, and 80% BB. What is the expected equilibrium allele frequency p* after a large number of generations go by during the drought? Assume the tortoise population is also very large.arrow_forward: In a study with house mice, 93 house mice (Mus musculus) in a single barn in Wiscons focused on a single locus (the gene for a certain enzyme) with two alleles, A and a.

- In smurfs, blue tails and red tails are codominant to white tails (this is similar to blood type in humans). In a population of 200 smurfs, 6 have white tails, 93 have blue tails, 51 have red tails, and 50 have purple tails. Papa smurf has learned that the frequency of the blue tail allele is 0.53. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Be sure to do a Chi-square test and show your work.arrow_forwardWhat would be the expected number of each genotype (round to the nearest whole number assuming genotype represents an individual) assuming the population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(M1M1) = 0.127 f(M1M2) = 0.390 f(M2M2) = 0.300 f(M1M3) = 0.068 f(M2M3) = 0.105 f(M3M3) = 0.009 Referencing a p-value of 0.05 and a CV of 11.070, state if the population is in HWE.

Ross’s geese exist in two color morphs, grey or yellow. The color is controlled by two alleles at a single gene locus. The yellow allele (Y) is dominant to the grey allele (y). Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with 20% of the population having the y allele, answer the following questions. What would be the percentages of the body color phenotypes after 25 generations if the population maintains the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Percentage of yellow phenotype? Percentage of grey phenotype?arrow_forward
