A population consists of 300 individuals with the following genotypes: AA – 100 Aa – 125 aa – 75 For the population in the problem above, imagine that the homozygous recessives are deleterious and that only 80% of these individuals survive to reproduce. If the other genotypes have a 100 % survival rate, and in each surviving individual replaces itself through reproduction, what are the values of p and q after one generation?

Assume an ideal diploid population of size 2N=32 (Just like the Buri Drosophila drift experiment with 16 individuals, or 32 gene copies, every generation). a) What is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 16 copies will CHANGE BY FEWER than 2 copies in the next generation? Be sure you understand that this includes cases where the number of copies remains unchanged, as well as the cases (plural!) where the magnitude of change between generations is one. b) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift? c) In the same population, what is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 2 copies will change by fewer than 2 copies (same meaning as above) in the next generation? d) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift?
Consider a situation where F1 is backcrossed with one of its parental lineage and we obtained A1H1/A2H2 : A2H1/A2H2 : A2H2/A2/H2: A1H2/A2H2 = 295 : 186 : 310 : 209, where A1 and A2 are alleles at a locus and H1 and H2 are alleles at the other locus. What is the recombination (genetic) distance between the two loci in centimorgans? A. 8.9 B. 22.5 C. 18.4 D. 50 E. 39.5
One particularly useful feature of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is that it allows us to estimate the frequency of heterozygotes for recessive genetic diseases, assuming that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exists. As an example, let’s consider cystic fibrosis, which is a human genetic disease involving a gene that encodes a chloride transporter. Persons with this disorder have an irregularity in salt and water balance. One of the symptoms is thick mucus in the lungs that can contribute to repeated lung infections. In populations of Northern European descent, the frequency of affected individuals is approximately 1 in 2500. Because this is a recessive disorder, affected individuals are homozygotes. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of individuals who are heterozygous carriers?
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by loss of function mutation in a gene on chromosome 15 that codes for an enzyme. The disease is an inherited autosomal recessive condition which is found amongst Ashkenazi Jews of Central European origin. In this population, 2 in 4,900 children are born with the disease. What proportion of the population are carriers (heterozygotes) for this disease? ALL WORKING MUST BE SHOWN
Explain why you need both the multiplication and addition rules to calculate the probability that an MN offspring will be produced in a human population The multiplication rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur and that mating will produce the target genotype, and the addition rule gives the total probability of each target genotype, because the matings that produce the target genotype are mutually exclusive. The multiplication rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur, and the addition rule gives the probability that the mating will produce the target genotype. The addition rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur and that mating will produce the target genotype, and the multiplication rule gives the total probability of each target genotype. The multiplication rule gives the probability that a particular mating will produce the target genotype, and the addition rule gives the probability of obtaining the particular…
A population of horses are having a problem. They are not mating randomly, they are mating with those that have the same flying speed as their own: Fast (FF), Medium speed (FS), or Slow (SS). You arrive to this land and count the following horse of each flying velocity: Fast = 71 Medium speed = 90 Slow = 31 If we consider these results Generation 1, what are the expected number of Fast individuals for each genotype in Generation 3 if we have only inbreeding, that is, FF only reproduces with FF; FS only reproduces with FS; and SS only reproduces with SS? round down to the whole number.
Allele B is a deleterious autosomal dominant. The frequency of affected individuals is 4.0 × 10−6. The reproductive capacity of these individuals is about 30 percentthat of normal individuals. Estimate μ, the rate at whichb mutates to its deleterious allele B. Assume that the frequencies of the alleles are at their equilibrium values.
In the Manx tailless phenotype of cats, the tailless phenotype is caused by the mutation ML and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Homozygotes for ML are lethal, and do not survive to birth. A breeder mates a Manx tailless male with a Manx tailless female. The female is now pregnant with a litter of 3 kittens. What is the probability that all the kittens born will be tailless? 0.012 0.125 0.04 0.20 0.30
What is the expected genotype frequency of the heterozygous genotype under the Hardy-Weinberg equation P = 0.7?
ln a population of turtles, there are yellow-green shells and green shells. The yellow shells are caused by a homozygous recessive gene and the green shells are caused by the dominant gene. Given the following data:AA = 340Aa = 270aa = 120 a) Calculate p and q. b) Use a chi square test to determine if these alleles are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Two SNPs are located in the short arm of chromosome 12. SNP1 has allele frequencies of 60% T and 40% C, and SNP2 has allele frequencies of 40% A and 60% G. What is the frequency of the haplotype T-G in a population if the two SNPs are in absolute linkage disequilibrium and if they are in linkage equilibrium?
