- in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what do the terms p2, q2, and 2pq represent, in terms of the genetic structure of a population?arrow_forwardA population of sea cucumbers from the maldives has the following allele frequencies for the tentacle colour gene; A= 0.7 and a=0.3. Using Hardy Weinberg equations and these allele frequencies, what are the expected genotype frequencies in the population?arrow_forwardYou sample a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) population for the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene. There are two alleles, designated A₁ and A2, for this locus in this population. The data you collected is shown in this table (this is your observed data). Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus? To save you time, I have calculated the expected number of individuals for each genotype and included them in the table. For your answer, you should provide: • an answer to the question: Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this locus? • the value of your chi-square result you based this answer on (you do not have to show your calculations for the homework, but you would on an exam) • (if you say the population is NOT in HW equilibrium) an evaluation of which genotype(s) are more or less common than expected in the observed population # individuals genotype A₁A₁ # individuals genotype A₁A2 # individuals genotype A₂A2 154 117 Observed data Expected data…arrow_forward
- In a population with two alleles at the R locus (R and r), the frequency of the genotype rr is 0.24.

Your Answer:arrow_forwardThe two-tailed p-value associated with this test is 0.860. Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a statistically significant difference between the two means in question?

- Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) is a recessive, genetic neurological disease found in the Arabian horse breed. If the incidence of this disease is about 1 in 400 Arabian horses, estimate the frequency of carriers in a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Value of q²: 0.0025 Value of q: 0.05 Value of p: 0.95 Carrier Frequency: 0.095 How many horses would you expect to be carriers for cerebellar abiotrophy if the population consists of 582 Arabian horses? (Round to the nearest whole number and enter 2 digits.)arrow_forwardWhat does it mean when your data/population conforms to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?arrow_forwardPretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. So your hypothesis is that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out a chisquare goodness of fit test and calculate a total chisquare value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean? (select all true statements)a) The data do NOT fit the hypothesized distribution.b) The data do fit the hypothesized distribution well enough, so we accept the hypothesis at this time (i.e. we cannot reject the hypothesis). c) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too small, so we reject the hypothesis.d) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too big, so we reject the hypothesis.e) The data support Hardy-Weinberg expectations – there is no…arrow_forward
