- If the frequency of a dominant allele “B” in a population is 80%, and assuming genetic equilibrium in this population, what percentage of the offspring in the next generation could be expected to have the heterozygous genotype?arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardIn hamsters, there is a dominant allele (S) for smooth fur and a recessive allele (s) for spiky fur. A unique characteristic of these alleles is that the heterozygote (Ss) has its own phenotype - rough fur. In this way, we can determind the number of heterozygotes in the population. In a population of 1000 hamsters, 390 have smooth fur (SS), 470 have rough fur (Ss) and 140 have spiky fur (ss). Question: The expected number of smooth fur hamsters (SS) in the next generation of 1000 hamsters is: Question 3 options: 0.390 470 625 390arrow_forward
- A hypothetical species of plant has flowers whose color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, blue (B) and yellow (Y), where blue is dominant and yellow is recessive. A population of 2430 of these plants includes 190 plants with yellow flowers.Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the yellow allele?arrow_forwardIn a population of frogs in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, a single gene controls the skin lor. Green is dominant to brown. You sample the frog's gene pool, and find that the frequency of the daminant green allele is 0.678. What is the froquency of the recessive allele? What is the frequency of homozygous dominant frogs? What is the frequency of heterozygous frogs? What is the frequency of homozygous recessive frogs?arrow_forwardIn mice, albinism (g) is recessive to grey coat colour (G). The fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controlled by two alleles.In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, a grey mouse mated with an albino mouse. Over the course of several months, 55 pups were born.If the grey allele has a frequency of 0.618, which of the following rows identifies the number of the grey and albino alleles in the population of 55 pups? Group of answer choices Grey Allele Albino Allele 34 21 Grey Allele Albino Allele 68 42 Grey Allele Albino Allele 42 68 Grey Allele Albino Allele 21 34arrow_forward
- Consider a population of 150 mice on an island, with allele frequencies B = 0.20 for brown coat colour, and b = 0.80 for white coat colour. Brown (B) is dominant to white (b) and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Twenty-five homozygous brown mice from the mainland float to the island on an uprooted tree after a storm. What are the genotype frequencies before migration? What are the allele frequencies after migration? Now, suppose the twenty-five brown mice float away again on another tree without breeding, and the island is back to its original state. Allele frequencies on the island are back to B = 0.20, b = 0.80. On the continent, there is a large population of many thousands of mice, with allele frequencies B = 0.80, b = 0.20. One year, human ships begin moving back and forth between the island and the continent, and occasionally a mouse comes along for the ride, and stays and breeds. Equal numbers of mice ride in each direction. The shipping trade continues…arrow_forwardIn an imaginary three-toed sloth population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, where T = three toes and t = four toes, the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.14.
