In a species of lily, the color of the flower's petals is determined by a dominant purple allele (F) or recessive white allele (f). One hundred flowers in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were sampled, and only 15% of the population showed the phenotype of white. Which of the following numbers represents the calculated value of the recessive white allele frequency? 0.92 0.39 0.15 0.85

In a population of the annual, self-compatible, Ipomoea purpurea, allele frequencies at a neutral genetic marker with two alleles are p=0.7; q=0.3 in generation 1. Assume this population in generation 1 was initially in Hardy Weinburg equilibrium. In this year, pollinators are absent and all plants self-fertilize, thus producing only self-fertilized seeds. Is the population in this second generation (i.e the offspring) still in Hardy Weinburg equilibrium? Show your work or explain your answer.

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?

In pea plants, the color purple is dominant to the color white. A farmer with an isolated patch of pea plants counts 36 purple-flowering plants and 64 white-flowering plants. Assuming the patch is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the white allele? 0.75 0.64 0.80 0.36

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

In a population of 199 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 33 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place. Your Answer:

In a population experiencing no selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation or non random mating, the allele frequencies at a locus where the R allele is dominant over the r allele, are as follows. R= 0.3 r=0.7 What is the expected heterozygosity of the population at that locus?

You are studying a population of mice in a field that have black (genotype BB), dark brown, (Bb) or light brown (bb) fur.   In your population you have 49 black individuals, 274 dark brown and 206 light brown.   What is the frequency of the B allele in the population? (round to 2 decimal places)

In a species of lily, the color of the flower's petals is determined by a dominant purple allele (F) or recessive white allele (f). One hundred flowers in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were sampled, and only 15% of the population showed the phenotype of white. Which of the following numbers represents the calculated value of the recessive white allele frequency? 0.92 0.39 0.15 0.85

Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) is a recessive, genetic neurological disease found in the Arabian horse breed. If the incidence of this disease is about 1 in 400 Arabian horses, estimate the frequency of carriers in a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Value of q²: 0.0025 Value of q: 0.05 Value of p: 0.95 Carrier Frequency: 0.095 How many horses would you expect to be carriers for cerebellar abiotrophy if the population consists of 582 Arabian horses? (Round to the nearest whole number and enter 2 digits.)
