Question
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.

- Which of these definitions of heritability is most correct? a)The total amount of phenotypic variation in a population. b) The total amount of genetic variation in a population. c) The proportion of phenotypic variation in a population that is due to genetic factors. d) The proportion of phenotypic variation in a population that is due to environmental factors.arrow_forwardConsider the MN blood system in humans. This blood system consists of only two alleles, M and N, and they are codominant to each other. Three genotypes are possible, and these genotypes can be easily identified through simple blood typing procedures, including the heterozygous MN due to the codominant mode of inheritance. Consider the following data: Phenotype Genotype Number of individuals M MM 89 MN MN 162 N NN 79 1. How many alleles exist in this population? 2. What is the genotypic frequency of the M blood type in the population? 3. What is the allelic frequency of M? 4. What is the allelic frequency of N? 5. What is the genotypic frequency of MN?

So you hypothesize that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out chi-square goodness of fit test and calculate a total chi-square value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean?arrow_forward
