Summary Introduction
Toexplain:
The components and meaning of the equation
Concept Introduction:
Hardy-Weinberg law stated that the frequencies of allele and gene cannot change from one generation to another. This law depends upon genotype and allele frequencies. Genotype frequency can be calculated by the number of individuals with their genotype that is divided by an entire number of the population.

- What is the answer for number 4 and how do you calculate this?arrow_forwardstion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently? Why or why not? the partial table of critical values for X2 calculations to test this hypothesis.arrow_forwardPossible equations to use: PID,] = 1- (PBa + 3/4 Pab + 1/2Pbb)" !3! log (1-PID,) log (Pa8 + 3/4 P8b+ 1/2Pbb) n = 8. A breeder is concerned that his best purebred Angus bull may be a carrier for Curly Calf Syndrome. He decides to conduct some test matings by taking this bull and mating him to 15 of the bulls own daughters to determine if he is a possible carrier of this and any other undesirable recessive genes. Show your work. a. How sure would we be that he is not a carrier if all the calves are born normal? b. How many would you need to be 99% sure he was not a carrier?arrow_forward
