- A population of 40 asters segregating at two loci with two alleles each (A/T and G/C) has 8 individuals with the AAGGgenotype. The allele frequencies of A and G are 0.5 and 0.5 in the population. What is the coefficient of gametic disequilibrium, D? What is the value of Lewontin’s D’? (that is “D prime”)arrow_forwardEven in the absence of genetic recombination, meiosis is an important source of genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms. Use as an example a species with 2n=8, and an individual of that species that is a quadruple heterozygote for loci A, B, C, and D, with each loci on a different chromosome. Determine how many different types of gametes this individual can produce, and explain how segregation and independent assortment mechanisms produce genetic variation in the gametes produced by this individual. Use the following terms in your response: genes; alleles; homologous chromosomes; non-homologous chromosomes.arrow_forwardHartnup disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of intestinal and renal transport of amino acids.
