In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink. A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not? B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?

Consider a population of T00 plants, In Hardy-Weinberg equibrium (p+ 2pg + 9=), In which flower color is determined by two alleles at a single gene. Homozygotes are eniher white or red, and heterozygotes are pink. Suppose a scientist counts 36 red flowers, 48 pink flowers, and 16 white flowers in a population of this plant. What is the frequency of the allele that confers red flower color? 0.16 0.36 0.50 0.60

Consider a finite population in which individuals carry two alleles at a particular genetic locus. One of the two alleles is currently at a frequency of 0.42 in the population. If the locus is neutral, such that neither allele confers a fitness advantage, what is the probability that this allele is eventually lost from the population?

Color in a species of minnow is determined by a single locus with two alleles: D and d. DD individuals are dark, Dd are intermediate, and dd are pale. In a population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 74 pale minnows out of 202. How many minnows do you expect to be dark?

There are 350 dominant homozygotes, 75 heterozygotes, and 40 recessive homozygotes in a population. How many dominant and how many recessive alleles are in this population? What would be their respective allele frequencies?

In a population of 500 fruit flies, 250 are genotype RR, 100 are genotype Rr and 150 are genotype rr. Determine the allele frequencies for this gene in this population. Remember that the frequencies should add to 1. Please show your work.

Assuming a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, an increase in the frequency of the p(A) allele from 0.6 to 0.9 would result in which of the following outcomes?   a. A decrease in the number of homozygous dominant individuals within the population   b. A decrease in the number of homozygous recessive individuals within the population   c. An increase in the number of homozygous recessive individuals within the population   d. An increase in the number of heterozygotes within the population   e. No change in genotypic frequency within the population

You are investigating the gene for eye color in a population of Hawaiian Drosophila flies that is in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. You then discover that the frequency of allele E in this population is 0.45. What are the expected genotype frequencies in this population? O A. EE = 0.55, Ee = 0.0, ee = 0.45 B. EE = 0.2025, Ee = 0.495, ee = 0.3025 %3| C. EE = 0.2025, Ee = 0.525, ee = 0.3025 D. EE = 0.3025, Ee 0.149, ee = 0.2025 %3D %3D Reset Selection

A population of 1000 beetles has 600 individuals that have genotype QQ, 100 individuals that have genotype Qq, and 300 individuals that have genotype qq.   a) Calculate f(Q) and f(q) for this population. Show your work and don’t assume HWE.       b) Calculate f(QQ), f(Qq), and f(qq) for this population. Show your work and don’t assume HWE.       c) Calculate the expected genotype frequencies if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your work.       d) Does this population appear to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not? (Although answering this question rigorously would require a statistical test, you don’t need to do that here.).

In a population of 265 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 59 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype?
