In a population of 100 jellyfish the gene for body color (blue or purple) is controlled by a single diploid gene. The allele for blue (B) is dominant over the allele for purple(b), 43 jellyfish in the population are purple.
a. What is the frequency of the dominant allele (B)?
b. What is the heterozygous genotype frequency (Bb)?
c. How many homozygous dominant jellyfish are there in the population?

An Amazon rainforest population of leaf beetles has 100,000 individuals.
An Amazon rainforest population of leaf beetles has 100,000 individuals. The beetles exist in two color morphs, purple and green. Purple beetles live on epiphytic orchid blooms whereas the green beetles inhabit the leaves of the orchid plants. The color is controlled by two alleles at a single gene locus. The purple allele (P) is dominant to the green allele (p) 36% of the beetle population is green and the other 64% of the population is purple. Assuming the population...

In humans, brown (B) eye color is dominant to blue (b) eye color and brown (H) hair color is dominant to red (h) hair color. [Assume single-gene traits] Of only the offspring that have brown eyes and brown hair (B_H_, where dash indicates that the individual could be either homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant allele), what proportion are expected to have a genotype that is heterozygous for one of the traits but homozygous for the other trait? A) 1/4...

A population of flour beetles has 1000 individuals. Normally the beetles are red in color; however, this population has a utation in the gene for body color that results in black beetles that are designated by the rr genotype. Red body color is dominant to black so the genotypes RR and Rr result in red beetles. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with a 50% frequency of each allele for body color. A) --- what is the frequency of...

A wildflower native to California, the dwarf lupin (Lupinus nanus) normally bears blue flowers but occasionally bears pink flowers. Flower color is controlled by a single diploid locus, with the blue allele (B) completely dominant over the pink allele (b). In a wild population of lupins, there are 43 pink lupins and 3398 blue lupins, for a total of 3341. Calculate the genotype and allele frequencies of this population, assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: Genotype frequency of...

In beetles, a gene coding for body color and a gene coding for bristle length are located on the same chromosome. Black (B) is dominant over grey body (b) and long bristles (s) are recessive to short bristles (S). A beetle that is heterozygous for black body and short bristles is mated with one that has a grey body and long bristles. What are the genotypes of the parents? ____________ ____________ Assume that the B allele is linked with the...
