(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population.

Introduction: According to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the genotype and allelic frequencies of a population will remain constant from generation to generation under special circumstances. The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is possible in the situations of large population size, no mutation, no natural selection, and free breeding in the population.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population in the case of autosomal recessive mutation.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.09

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.01

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of the heterozygous carrier in a population if q2=0.10

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part (a).

1.) “Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease that affects the entire body. It also results in the early death of an individual. One in every 2500 children is born with this disorder. “ From the information given above, which of the following values of the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be calculated first? a.) p B.) q C.) p^2 D.) q^2 2.) “A gene pool is the sum of all the genetic variations that can be passed on to the next generation. There are various factors that cause gene pool diversity to change.” A process that does not contribute to gene pool change is A) gene flow B) gene mutation C) random mating D) natural selection 3) “Fourteen species of finches currently inhabit in the Galapagos Islands. Charles Darwin believed that a few birds of the same species were initially blown by the wind to the Galapagos Islands.” Colonization of the Galapagos Islands by a small population of finches provides an example of the A) founder effect B) chloride shift C) apoptosis D)…
. Calculate the frequency of heterozygous carriers for a disorder caused by an autosomal recessive mutation. The frequency of the disorder in the population is 0.01. O A) 0.9 O B) 0.18 O C) 0.1 O D) 0.81 E) None of the above
Phenylketonuria is a recessive autosomal genetic disorder that can cause mental retardation. Phenylketonuria is particularly common in Turkey, where 1 in 2600 children are born with the disease. As of 2011, the population of Turkey was 73.6 million. Based on this data, and assuming that the Turkish population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (a) Estimate the number of carriers of phenylketonuria in Turkey (b) Estimate the proportion of unaffected individuals who are carriers.
