Which of the following is a genotypic frequency? O aa = = 24% O A= 54% O a = 46% O Brown hair = 33%
A total of 6129 North American Caucasians were blood typed for the MN locus, which is determined by two codominant alleles, LM and LN. The following data were obtained: Blood type Number M 1787 MN 3039 N 1303 Carry out a chi-square test to determine whether this population is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium at the MN locus.
A total of 1000 members of a Central American population are typed for the ABO blood group. In the sample, 421 have blood type A, 168 have blood type B, 336 have blood type O, and 75 have blood type AB. Part A Use this information to determine the frequency of ABO blood group alleles in the sample. Recall that when considering genes with three alleles whose frequencies are represented by the variables p, q, and r, the sum of genotype frequencies resulting from trinomial expansion is: (p+q+r)² =p² + 2pq+q2+2pr+r²+2gr = 1
In a gorilla population in Zaire we consider a single gene locus with two alleles G and g, with G dominant to g. The frequency of the allele g is 0.01. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg proportions, the frequency of the genotype Gg is:
This is a classic data set on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Coloration in this species had been previously shown to behave as a single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance. Data for 1612 individuals are given below: White-spotted (AA) =1469 Intermediate (Aa) = 138 Little spotting (aa) =5 Calculate the following frequencies: A=, a=, AA=, Aa=, aa=
Two alleles have been found at the X-linked phosphoglucomutase gene (Pgm) in a Drosophila persimilispopulation in California. The frequency of the PgmAallele is 0.25, while the frequency of the PgmBalleleis 0.75. Assuming the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium, what are the expected genotype frequencies in males and females?
Consider two blood polymorphisms that humans have in addition to the ABO system. Two alleles LM and LN determine the M, N, and MN blood groups. The dominant allele R of a different gene causes a person to have the Rh+ (rhesus positive) phenotype, whereas the homozygote for r is Rh− (rhesus negative). Two men took a paternity dispute to court, each claiming three children to be his own. The blood groups of the men, the children, and their mother were as follows:From this evidence, can the paternity of the children be established?
The dominant white allele (W) is a homozygous lethal and is dominant over the full-color allele (w) in horses. The Overo paint allele (O) is also lethal when homozygous, and it is dominant over the nonpaint allele (o). The dominant at the white locus, however, masks the paint phenotype. Two horses of the genotype WwOo are crossed. At what frequency is a solid white horse expected from the this cross?
