****Note for question 1 - you have been given the frequency of the two alleles (dominant and recessive = p + q=1) and you are using those allele frequencies to calculate the genotype frequencies. p2 + 2pq + p2
If the frequency of allele 12 is 0.011, calculate the probability that any random person would be homozygous for allele 12. Show your work.
If the frequency of allele 12 is 0.011, and allele 15 is 0.08, calculate the probability that any random person would be heterozygous for allele 12 and 15. Show your work.

- Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?arrow_forwardThe frequency of an autosomal recessive condition is 0.001 (1 in 1000) in a population. What is the frequency of the mutant allele? Express your answers using three significant figures.arrow_forwardAssume you know the frequency of each allele p=0.8 so q=0.2. How can we calculate the heterozygote? Think about the punnett square. Either the father donated the freckle allele ie. (Ff = pq) or the mother did (fF = qp) so the equation for heterozygotes should be 2pq Determine the frequency of the heterozygote 2pq=arrow_forward
- Using the two equations, p + q = 1 and p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, answer the following questions. Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive condition that causes intellectual and physical disabilities, difficulty feeding, and a sweet maple syrup odor to the urine. In Costa Rica, the incidence of MSUD is calculated as approximately 1 in 8,000 newborns. Calculate the allele frequencies for the normal and disease alleles.arrow_forwardIn a given population of 610 individuals, the allele frequencies of the M and N alleles were found to be 0.62 and 0.38 respectively. Calculate the expected number of individuals with M, MN, and N blood type.arrow_forwardUsing the observed counts for each genotype, how do you find the expected values with those numbers and the frequencies?arrow_forward
- What are some general tips in calculating allele and genotype frequencies? Examples of each will be useful.arrow_forwardThe allele b occurs with a frequency of 0.8 in a population of giraffes.

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 = 1arrow_forward
