In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
If the initial allele frequencies are p = 0.5 and q = 0.5 and allele a is a lethal recessive, what will be the frequencies after 25 generations?
(1 point) Humans with the genotypes DD and Dd show the Rh+ blood phenotype, whereas those with the genotype dd show the Rh- blood phenotype.

Once upon a time there was a population of hippies living in an isolated commune called Gone. They had been there for generations, and all members were homozygous for a gene that gave them a preference for crafting necklaces out of green beads, so that every individual had the genotype GG at this locus. In another isolated commune, called Yonder, was a population of hippies that had a genetic propensity for making necklaces out of yellow beads, and everyone was homozygous for a different allele at the same genetic locus; their genotype was YY. Last year (prior to our current social isolating) everyone repaired their VW buses, and a giant gathering in celebration of the 50th anniversary was held at the Oregon Country Fair. The next few questions will ask you about these two populations that came together at the fair.
In a population of 10,000 individuals, where 3600 are MM, 1600 are Mm, and 4800 are mm, what are the frequencies of the M alleles and the m alleles? M= 0.7; m = 0.3 M= 0.6; m = 0.4 М-0.8; т %3D 0.2 M= 0.9; m = 0.1 M= 0.5; m = 0.5

In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (A) and by a recessive allele for yellow (a). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that assumes Hardy- Weinberg principle reveals that 117 kernels are white. What is the frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype? O 0.27 O 0.56 O 0.23 O 0.26 O O o O
In a donor population, the allelic frequency of HbA (dominant) is 0.90 and for HbS (recessive) is 0.10. A group of 550 individuals migrate to another population of 10,000 individuals where the allele frequencies are HbA = 0.99 and HbS = 0.01. Calculate the allele frequencies after the migratory event in the receiving population. Use Allelic frecuency after migration= mPx+(1-m)Py P+q=1
A group of Labrador Retriever males are imported carrying an allele frequency of 0.2. The existing Canadian population of Labradors has an allele frequency of 0.8. A follow up study of the purebred Labrador registration information shows that 30% of puppies registered in Canada after one year were sired by one of these foreign sires. What is the allele frequency in the Canadian male Labrador population? (to two decimal places and round to the nearest 0.01 - don't worry about the frequencies in the females, we will leave that for MBG-3060 next winter)
