You have genotyped an entire population of lab mice for a single locus (let's label it F) that you have noticed have some interesting differences in size at a certain age. Based on your genotyping work, you calculate the average of the FF genotype to be 82 grams, the Ff genotype to be 37 grams and the ff genotype to be 25 grams. The frequency of the F allele is 0.85. What is the effect of the F allele in grams for this population (rounded to the nearest 0.01)?

    1. You have genotyped an entire population of lab mice for a single locus (let's label it F) that you have noticed have some interesting differences in size at a certain age. Based on your genotyping work, you calculate the average of the FF genotype to be 71 grams, the Ff genotype to be 50 grams and the ff genotype to be 29 grams. What is a in grams for this population (rounded to the nearest 0.1)?

    5. Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between O and 1 rounded to two decimal places 6. The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the...

    You have journeyed to the center of the earth, and discovered the lost population of Tyrannosaurus rex. Naturally, the first thing you do is study evolution in their population. 10) You identify the Ferocity locus, and notice that the Tyrannosaurs differ in fitness depending on their genotypes (FF, Ff and ff) and the associated phenotypes, and the associated trait is heritable. a) What evolutionary mechanism is relevant to this scenario? (2 points) b) FF and Ff individuals have the same...

  • In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive)....

    In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...

    I need help with questions 1 through 2, thank you! The Esatina salamanders (Ensatina eschscholtzii), shown above, live along the West Coast of North America from Vancouver to Baja California. We will be focusing two populations: 1. individuals that live in Northern California and represent a more ancestral population 2. individuals that live in Southern California. Researchers have found that these all individuals of this salamander species have two color phenotype, either red or blotchy. Genetic analysis has shown that...

    Please read the article bellow and discuss the shift in the company's approach to genetic analysis. Please also discuss what you think about personal genomic companies' approaches to research. Feel free to compare 23andMe's polices on research with another company's. Did you think the FDA was right in prohibiting 23andMe from providing health information? These are some sample talking points to get you thinking about the ethics of genetic research in the context of Big Data. You don't have to...
