However, in a one generation, someone with aa genotype migrated into the population making the new population having 100 individuals who are diploid. What is the probability that the small a allele will be fixed in the population? Show all workings

A population of horses are having a problem. They are not mating randomly, they are mating with those that have the same flying speed as their own: Fast (FF), Medium speed (FS), or Slow (SS). You arrive to this land and count the following horse of each flying velocity: Fast = 71 Medium speed = 90 Slow = 31 If we consider these results Generation 1, what are the expected number of Fast individuals for each genotype in Generation 3 if we have only inbreeding, that is, FF only reproduces with FF; FS only reproduces with FS; and SS only reproduces with SS? round down to the whole number.
Assume a biallelic locus in a diploid population. Out of 100 individuals, the following genotypes were observed: 59 A1A1 individuals; 16 A1A2 individuals; and 25 A2A2 individuals. What is the observed (actual; not predicted) allele frequency of the A1 allele? (you may use a calculator here) O A. 0.33 O B. 0.67 O C. 0.16 O D.0.59 O E. 0.25
There is a chromosome with two loci on it, Locus 1 that has alleles X and x, and Locus 2 that has alleles Y and y. The chromosome types exist in the following proportions:XY: 0.1 Xy: 0.3 xY: 0.4 xy: 0.2 Is this population in linkage equilibrium or linkage disequilibrium? a. The population is in linkage equilibrium b. The population is in linkage disequilibrium c. This population switches between linkage equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium. d. Not enough information to tell.
Consider a population with 28 individuals with the genotype AA and 12 Aa individuals and 50 individuals with the genotype aa how many alleles in this population in total?
In a population of Hopi indians the autosomal recessive gene for albinism exists at an allele frequency of 0.04. What proportion of these individuals are expected to be heterozygous?
Leg length is polymorphic within a population of lizards, with much of the variation controlled by (segregating for alleles A/B). Homozygous BB lizards have short legs and move slowly, and so are easy prey to hawks. As a result, only 20% of them survive to reproduce. Homozygous AA individuals are fast but struggle to hold onto branches during hurricanes, and so only 50% of them survive to reproduce. AB heterozygotes are both relatively fast and can grip branches well. 80% of them survive to reproduce. The frequency (q) of the B allele at birth is 10%. Calculatehe absolute mean fitness of the population using the mean fitness formula. Answer fast for ?
About 8% of the men in a population are red-green color blind (because of a sex-linked recessive allele). Answer the following questions, assuming random mating in the population, with respect to color blindness. a. What percentage of women would be expected to be color blind? b. What percentage of women would be expected to be heterozygous? c. What percentage of men would be expected to have normal vision two generations later?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? In a population where the females have the allelic frequencies A = 0.35 and a = 0.65 and the frequencies for males are A = 0.1 and a = 0.9, how many generations will it take to reach HardyWeinberg equilibrium for both the allelic and the genotypic frequencies? Assume random mating and show the allelic and genotypic frequencies for each generation.
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
Assume a Hardy-Weinberg distribution for the recessive condition tercho If 9/16 of the population are homozygous dominant then what fraction have tercho? Give three digits past the decimal point.
