- Two alleles have been found at the X-linked phosphoglucomutase gene (Pgm) in a Drosophila persimilis population in California. The frequency of the PgmA allele is 0.3, while the frequency of the PgmB allele is 0.7. Assuming the population is at Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium, what are the expected genotype frequencies in males and females?arrow_forwardThe locus in a species of wild apples affects the redness of the fruit. There are two alleles, V1 and V2. V2V2 individuals have a redness index of 10 on average, V1V2 individuals have a redness index of 12 on average, and V1V1 individuals have a redness index of 18 on average. (a) Compute the additive (a) and dominance (d) effects of this locus. (b) Compute the population mean spot number if V1 is at a frequency of 0.30.arrow_forwardGenotypes of leopard frogs from a population in central Kansas were determined for a locus (M) that encodes the enzyme malate dehydrogenase. The following numbers of genotypes were observed: Calculate the genotypic and allelic frequencies for the population (round to the nearest thousandth). f(M1M1) = f(M1M2) = f(M2M2) = f(M1M3) = f(M2M3) = f(M3M3) = f(M1) = f(M2) = f(M3) = What would be the expected number of each genotype (round to the nearest whole number assuming genotype represents an individual) assuming the population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(M1M1) = f(M1M2) = f(M2M2) = f(M1M3) = f(M2M3) = f(M3M3) = Referencing a p-value of 0.05 and a CV of 11.070, state if the population is in HWE.

- For a gene existing in two alleles, what are the allele frequencies when the heterozygote frequency is at its maximum value, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What if there are three alleles?arrow_forwardThe ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.) To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.arrow_forwardIn 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_forward

If P(A1A2) = 8 * P(A1A1), what are the allele frequencies at the locus?arrow_forwardIn some populations of grasses, the ability to grow in soil sprayed with a certain herbicide is a dominant trait determined by the allele "R". In a population at genetic equilibrium, 91% of the seeds can germinate in sprayed soil. What are the frequencies of "R" and "r"? What percentage of the plant that germinates in the soil will be heterozygotes?arrow_forwardA rabbit warren has 300 individuals. The coat colour of rabbits is expressed through incomplete dominance. The coat colour can be dark brown, light brown, or white.There are 81 dark brown rabbits, 150 light brown rabbits, and 69 white rabbits. Assume that all of the conditions are met for a population in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.What is the light brown genotype frequency, the white phenotype frequency, and the dark brown allele frequency? Select one: a. Genotype of Light Brown Rabbits Phenotype of White Rabbits Dark Brown Allele Frequency 0.27 0.48 0.52 b.

You want to breed chickens to get extra-large eggs with an average weight of 65 grams. What would the egg weight be for the chickens you need to breed to get that egg weight?arrow_forwardA species of butterfly shows variation in the length of the antennae. You measure antennae in a butterfly population and find the mean to be 15 mm. You calculate a heritability of antennae length to be 1 (h2 = 1). %3D That summer, there is a severe drought. Many of the butterflies die and only a few survive to reproduce. The surviving butterflies have a mean antennae length of 17 mm. a) What is the predicted mean limb-length of the offspring of the surviving butterflies? [ Select ] b) What type of selection was acting on antennae length in these butterflies? [ Select ] c) Five years later, you go back and measure antennae length in this butterfly population again. Every butterfly in the population has antennae measuring 16 mm. What is the heritability of antennae length in this population now? [Select ]arrow_forward
