- A mutation in an of the recessive hemoglobin gene on chromosome 11 causes sickle-cell disease, but also confers malaria resistance. The allele frequency in African Americans is 14%. 1. What percent of the population have two copies of the gene and are therefore immune to malaria? 2. What percent of the population are less susceptible to malaria but do not have sickle-cell anemia since they are heterozygous?arrow_forwardIf the frequency of a dominant allele is 0.82, what is the frequency of the recessive allele? 1 1.8 0.0018 0.18arrow_forwardTay Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disease. Among Ashkenazi Jews, the frequency of Tay Sachs disease is 1 in 1000. If the Ashkenazi population is mating randomly for the Tay Sachs gene, how many people in the population of 1000 are expected to be heterozygous carriers of the Tay Sachs disease (assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)? No carriers would be in this population 1 61 564arrow_forward
- A population of 30 hamsters have either a black coat (BB or Bb) or a white coat (bb). There are 10 BB homozygotes, 10 Bb heterozygotes, and 10 bb homozygotes in the population. What is the frequency of the b allele in this gene pool? 10% 30% 50% 67%arrow_forwardWhat is the chi-square value of the pumpkin population? round up and use four decimal points After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size.arrow_forwardSay you have a lab population of 1000 dragonflies that is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Body color is determined by a single gene with 2 alleles. The white body color phenotype is due to the homozygous recessive phenotype. Out of the 1000 dragonflies, 250 are white. Heterozygous and homozygous dominant individuals are green. How many of the 1000 dragonflies are heterozygous? Group of answer choices 25 250 500 50 125arrow_forward

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? REGISTER NOW 13 5 11 4 Darrow_forward
