- 1. Calculate the genotype frequencies of a population of flowers where the frequency of the CR allele is 0.8 and the CW is 0.2. There is incomplete dominance, and the population is in equilibrium. Do you understand how to calculate the following answers? CRCR 0.64 CRCW = 0.32 CWCW=0.04 total = 1.00 = ninige bas amm di mislqxarrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardI don’t understand the concept of Mendels formula. I don’t get how they used the ratios in table 3.4 to predict the number of genotypes in each generation and I was wondering if you could explain it better. I don’t know how they got those numbers.arrow_forward

- Hi, I need help with this. I believe the answer is 0.2, but I also believe I might be working this incorrectly. We're using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Thanks!arrow_forwardThere are two incomplete-dominant alleles for petal color in a population of flowers. 36% of the flowers have red petals, 16% of the organisms have white petals, and 48% of the flowers have pink petals. What percentage of alleles in this population code for red petals (R)? Phenotype Genotype Red RR Pink Rr White rrarrow_forwardTay Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disease. Among Ashkenazi Jews, the frequency of Tay Sachs disease is 1 in 1000. If the Ashkenazi population is mating randomly for the Tay Sachs gene, how many people in the population of 1000 are expected to be heterozygous carriers of the Tay Sachs disease (assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)? No carriers would be in this population 1 61 564arrow_forward
