The incidence of retinitis pigmentosa in Britain is about 1:2500. What is the approximate allele frequency in Britain's population?
Homework Answers
1/2500
q2=1/2500
q=1/50
q=0.02=allele frequency for retina pigmentosa allele
Unaffected people frequency p=1-q
=1-0.02
=0.98

3. About one child in 2500 is born with phenylketonuria (an inability to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine). This is known to be a recessive autosomal trait. a. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this trait, what is the frequency of the phenylketonuria allele? b. What proportion of the population are carriers of the phenylketonuria allele (that is what proportion are heterozygous)?

1. If an original dog population has an allele with frequency 0.6 and a population size of 292 individuals and 55 dogs move from another population to join the original population and bring with them the same allele with frequency 0.6, what is the allele frequency in the new population (to two decimals - round to the nearest 0.01). 2.

1.) a.) Suppose the dominant allele frequency is 0.15, what is the number of homozygous dominant individuals you would expect to find in a population of 100 individuals? b.) Suppose you are trying to determine the allele frequency of hair texture in a group of 50 individuals. You notice 15 individuals have curly hair (HH), 25 have wavy hair (Hh), and 10 have straight hair (hh). What is the allele frequency of the dominant allele, "H"?

In a hypothetical population which is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency for a recessive allele is 30%. What percentage of the population would be expected to show the dominant trait in the next generation? Humans who are born homozygous for the recessive sickle cell allele die of sickle cell anemia, while those who are heterozygous are resistant to malaria (see chapter 4 for more information on this balanced polymorphism). 4% of the population of the Congo are homozygous recessive for...
