Excessive secretion of male sex hormones results in premature sexual maturation in males and masculization of the sex characters in females. This disorder is called the adrenogenital syndrome, and in Switzerland there is an autosomal recessive form of the disease that affects about one in 5000 newborns. a. Assuming random mating, what is the allele frequency of the recessive? b. What is the frequency of heterozygous carriers?
Suppose the mating had occurred between homozygous recessive male for a disease and a normal female known to be heterozygous. What would the probabilities be for the following outcomes? 3 offspring in the following order: normal, with disease, normal Use the factorial equation n!/x!(n-y)! * (p)x (q)n-x n = number of events (offspring) x = number of normal / dominant offspring n-y =total - number of abnormal / recessive offspring p = probability of producing a normal/dom q = probability of producing an abnormal/rec
A population of laboratory mice was weighed at the age of six weeks (full adult weight) and found to have a mean weight of 20 g. The narrow heritability of weight gain (h2) is known to be 0.25 in this laboratory strain. If mice weighing 24 g are selected and mated at random, what is the expected mean weight of the next generation?
Assume that the frequency of an allele that causes an autosomal recessive disease is 0.03. What is the probability of a person having the disease when his or her parents are unrelated (i.e., mating is random)? What is the probability of having the disease when the parents are first cousins? What about when the parents are second cousins?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In certain populations of Northern European descent, the number of people born with this disorder is about 1 in 2500. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium for this trait: A. What are the frequencies for the normal and CF alleles? B. What are the genotype frequencies of homozygous normal, heterozygous, and homozygous affected individuals? C. Assuming random mating, what is the probability that two phenotypically unaffected heterozygous carriers will choose each other as mates?
In a population of 1000, 36% expresses the dominant phenotype. What is the frequency of marriage among heterozygotes? Write your answer in decimal form with four decimal places.
Consider a mating between two individuals represented by genotypes NnTT X NNTt. Uppercase letters represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters represent recessive alleles. Assume the N and T loci segregate independently (i.e., are not linked). What is the frequency of double heterozygotes (NnTt) in the offspring of these matings?

The genetic identity of the female parent is RrGg and the genetic identity of the male parent is Rrgg. They produce 320 offspring together from a single mating: 57 red-eyed females with grey bodies, 61 red-eyed females with yellow bodies, 22 brown-eyed females with grey bodies, 20 brown-eyed females with yellow bodies.59 red-eyed males with grey bodies, 63 red-eyed males with yellow bodies, 20 brown-eyedmales with grey bodies, 18 brown-eyed males with yellow bodies. Show the simultaneous transmission of the two genes involved to give rise to the progeny given with the use of genetic diagrams and summaries as required. (Hint: you are only requiredto show the simultaneous transmission from the P to F1 generations)
In a population of 500 individuals in Near East, the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles for autosomal recessive genetic disease PKU are 0,89 and 0,11 respectively. A is used to indicate the dominant allele, a is used to indicate the recessive allele. Assuming random mating, what are the expected genotype frequencies?
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?
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.
In Hereford cattle, the phenotypic expression of coat pattern called line-back (a white line down the center of the back, extending almost to the tail) is considered undesirable. The gene which causes line-back is recessive and autosomal. If 7 cows out of 100 cattle express this trait, what is the allele frequency for this trait? If the line-back cows are not included in the mating population (W22=0), how many line-back cows will be found in the next generation? (Assume 100 cows in the next generation.) can u ansewer the second question
