- A population of sea cucumbers from the maldives has the following allele frequencies for the tentacle colour gene; A= 0.7 and a=0.3. Using Hardy Weinberg equations and these allele frequencies, what are the expected genotype frequencies in the population?arrow_forwardOnce upon a time there was a population of hippies living in an isolated commune called Gone. They had been there for generations, and all members were homozygous for a gene that gave them a preference for crafting necklaces out of green beads, so that every individual had the genotype GG at this locus. In another isolated commune, called Yonder, was a population of hippies that had a genetic propensity for making necklaces out of yellow beads, and everyone was homozygous for a different allele at the same genetic locus; their genotype was YY. Last year (prior to our current social isolating) everyone repaired their VW buses, and a giant gathering in celebration of the 50th anniversary was held at the Oregon Country Fair. The next few questions will ask you about these two populations that came together at the fair.arrow_forwardIn a population of 199 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e.

- A population is made up of individuals where 77 have the A1A1 genotype, 65 have the A1 A2 genotype, and 123 have the A2A2 genotype. What is the allele frequency of A1? Answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardPretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. So your hypothesis is that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out a chisquare goodness of fit test and calculate a total chisquare value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean? (select all true statements)a) The data do NOT fit the hypothesized distribution.b) The data do fit the hypothesized distribution well enough, so we accept the hypothesis at this time (i.e. we cannot reject the hypothesis). c) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too small, so we reject the hypothesis.d) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too big, so we reject the hypothesis.e) The data support Hardy-Weinberg expectations – there is no…arrow_forwardConsider an autosomal locus with alleles A and a.
