Question
A wild population of pea plants has two alleles for flower colour in its gene pool. A dominant allele (P) specifies purple flowers; a recessive allele (p) specifies white flowers. If the frequency of allele P is 0.75, what is the expected frequency of p

- Which of the following statements about Hardy-Weinberg graphs is false? Group of answer choices The x-axis is always the dominant allelic frequency. The y-axis is the genotypic frequency. The maximum heterozygous genotypic frequency is where the dominant and recessive allelic frequencies intersect. As the dominant allelic frequency increases, the recessive genotypic frequency decreases.arrow_forwardThere is a gene that causes people to have crumbly earwax. This gene is expressed as a complete dominant: Individuals who are homozygous dominants (CC) or heterozygous (Cc) have crumbly earwax. Homozygous recessives (cc) have gooey earwax. There are 100 people, 64 of whom have crumbly earwax. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg conditions, what is the frequency of the c allele on Paradise Island? Group of answer choices 0.80 This cannot be answered without more information. 0.60 0.36 None of the above.arrow_forwardFlower color variation in Phlox drummondii living either in sympatry or allopatry with Phlox cuspidata has previously been studied. Phlox drummondii exist in four colors: light blue, dark blue, light red, and dark red. Each flower color is controlled by a specific combination of alleles. In allopatry, butterflies randomly pollinate Phlox drummondii flowers of all color types. In contrast, non-random pollination occurs between differently colored flowers when both Phlox species are living in sympatry. The graph depicts the relative fitness of the alleles that drive flower color in Phlox drummondii under conditions of sympatry or allopatry with Phlox cuspidata. Label each half of the graph with the term sympatry or allopatry based on the observed trend in the relative fitness of the alleles that control all four flower colors in Phlox drummondii.arrow_forward
- In a population of plants, leaf hairiness is determined by a single locus with two alleles: H and h. Out of 319 individuals in the population, 25 % are completely hairy, 9 % are partially hairy, and the remaining are hairless. Complete hairiness is caused by homozygosity of the H allele at a single locus; hairlessness is caused by homozygosity of the h allele at that locus; heterozygotes are partially hairy. What is the expected (predicted under H–W) number of individuals with partially hairy leaves?arrow_forwardThe effect(s) of the environment on the variation seen in phenotypes include: influencing the heritability of the phenotype influencing the phenotype's response to selection allowing continuous phenotypic variance from a discrete genetic basis all of the above a) and b) only O a) and c) only b) and c) onlyarrow_forwardIn some breeds of dogs, a recessive allele (a) codes for color dilution alopecia, a conditionin which the hair color appears blue or gray due to an uneven distribution ofmelanin in hair follicles. The dominant allele A codes for undiluted hair color (black).In one population of dogs in the southeastern U.S., the frequency of the A allele wasdetermined to be 0.71, with the frequency of the a allele being 0.29. Calculate the frequency of the aa genotype in the next generation.arrow_forward
- In a Gecko population a group of Geckos skin color is controlled by one gene with two alleles "R"which codes for red and is dominant to "r" which codes for yellow and is recessive. If 100 Geckos are on the island and you gene test them to know their alleles you'll observe that 30 are homozygous red, 60 are heterozygous red, and 20 are homozygous recessive. Determine the Chi-square. assuming the original parents (Rr xRr).* Hint: determine the expected first before plugging into the equation awesome as this one?

A farmer with an isolated patch of pea plants counts 36 purple-flowering plants and 64 white-flowering plants. Assuming the patch is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the white allele? 0.75 0.64 0.80 0.36arrow_forwardFur colour in mice is a single gene trait controlled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population?

- A dominant allele that arises from recurrent mutation is mildly deleterious. The fitness of heterozygotes is 99% of normal. The phenotype appears in about 1 out of every 10,000 newborns. What is the allele frequency? Assuming that there is a mutation/selection balance, estimate the mutation rate.

In Brandywine apricot trees, sour fruit (fr+) is dominant to fishy-tasting fruit (fr), blue flowers (b+) is dominant to yellow flowers (b), and short, bushy height (sh+) is dominant to tall, tree-like height (sh). You perform a testcross with a plant that is heterozygous for all three loci and get the following offspring: Fruit flavor Flower color Plant height Observed Counts fr+ b+ sh+ 61 fr b sh 53 fr+ b+ sh 11 fr b sh+ 7 fr+ b sh 277 fr b+ sh+ 285 fr+ b sh+ 156 fr b+ sh 150 Total 1000 What is the recombination frequency between b and sh?arrow_forwardA very large population of rabbits has been allowed to breed randomly in a laboratory research program. The rabbits vary in their coat colour, which is either gray or black. After many generations, 25% of the rabbits display a recessive phenotype for gray coat colour (aa), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. The other 75% of the rabbits show the dominant black coat phenotype, with heterozygotes (Aa) indistinguishable from the homozygous dominants (AA) What is a reasonable conclusion explaining the fact that the frequency of the recessive trait (aa) has not changed over time? a. There has been sexual selection favouring allele a b. The two phenotypes have about equal fitness under laboratory conditions C. The population is undergoing genetic drift d. The genotype AA is lethalarrow_forward
