You find a population of spotted salamanders that previous researchers have determined is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele that confers yellow spots (Y) is dominant The frequency of yellow-spotted salamanders in this population is 0.51 (This means 51% of the salamanders are yellow-spotted.) What is the frequency of heterozygotes (Yy) in this population? What is the frequency of homozygous dominants (YY) in this population?

In 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? /
Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes In a population only 1% of the butterflies are blue, What is the DY allele frequency?
There is a lack of dominance in black (B) and white (W) horse coat colours. An offspring produced from a black horse and a white horse has a blue-roan coat colour (BW). When the blue-roan coat is closely examined, both black and white hair can be found. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 24 out of every 150 foals have a white coat. Calculate the frequency of the black horse coat allele in the population. Express your answer using two significant digits.

Given the following observed genotype frequencies (AA 0.45, Aa 0.16 and aa 0.39) for a gene that determines coat color with incomplete dominance in a population of lemmings. Allele "A" results in a dark colored coat. Allele "a" results in a light colored coat. What percent of the population would possess a dark coat as their phenotype?
Tongue rolling ability is conferred by the presence of a dominant R allele. Nonrollers are genotype rr. A class of GN 311 students consists of 289 rollers and 29 nonrollers. Assume that this population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this locus. P What is the frequency of the R allele? What is the frequency of the r allele? • How many people in the class are expected to be heterozygous for this locus?
According to Hamilton's Rule, in which scenario is selection for cooperative breeding expected to be the strongest? but lose the chance to have Helpers raise and increase the survival and reproduction of of their own offspring. O 100 additional 2nd cousins twice removed to whom they are 0.00781 (0.781%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. 60 additional 1st cousins once-removed to whom they are 0.0625 (6.25%) genetically related; 1 of their own offspring. O 50 additional grandnieces/nephews to whom they are 0.125 (12.5%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. None of the three scenarios are likely to result in the evolution of cooperative breeding according to Hamilton's Rule.
A species of birds off the coast of Africa follows Hardy-Weinberg population principles in determining beak color. The dominant phenotype is represented by a black beak, while the recessive phenotype is represented by a grey beak. If half of the population carries the recessive allele, what percentage of the birds have black beaks? (Assume complete dominance
A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)
Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. In another population only 1% of the butterflies are blue, What is the DY allele frequency?
The ability to taste the chemical compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is coded for by a single gene with two alleles. Let T stand for the allele that codes for tasting and t for the allele that codes for non-tasting. This allele exhibits complete dominance, such that heterozygotes can also taste PTC. Suppose that out of a population of 100 students, 70 are tasters. Estimate the allele frequencies and the frequencies of TT, Tt and tt genotypes in the population. Show all your work, and clearly state your logic and any assumptions you make in estimating the frequencies
