Question
A population of cats can be either black or white; the black allele (B) has complete dominance over the white allele. Given a population of 1,000 cats, 720 black and 280 white, determine the allele frequency, the frequency of individuals per genotype, and a number of individuals per genotype.

- the aggresive behavior in cats is controlled by a completely dominant gene locus A. There are 46 docile cats in subdivision with a population of 158. Question: Determine if how many animals are heterozygous and how many animals have the dominant allele? provide solutionarrow_forwardIn a population of 2000 gaboon vipers a genetic difference with respect to venom lethality exists at a single locus. The two alleles (V & v) display incomplete dominance. The population consists of 100 homozygous recessive, non-venomous vipers; 800 heterozygous, mildly-venomous vipers; and 1100 homozygous dominant, deadly-venomous vipers. What is the actual frequency of the recessive allele in the population? /arrow_forwardA population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1 A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotype.
