The frequency of the allele A in a population at genetic equilibrium is 0.8. What is the expected frequency of the Aa genotype?
Frequency of Allele A is 0.8
p= 0.8, q= 1-0.8.= 0.2
Expected frequency of genotype Aa = 2pq = 2*0.8*0.2. =0.32

In the figure, p is the frequency of allele A, and is the frequency of allele a in a diploid population. Assuming no differences in fitness, pand should also be the frequencies of A gametes and a gametes produced by the adults. The A and a gametes combine during fertilization to produce diploid zygotes. If mating is random and the population is large, the proportion of offspring with each of three genotypes (AA, Aa, and aa) can be predicted using...
In a population of Mendel's garden peas, the frequency of the dominant A (purple flower) allele is 80%. Letp represent the frequency of the A allele and q represent the frequency of the a allele. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what are the genotype frequencies? A. 16% AA, 40 % Aa, 44 % aa B. 80% AA, 10 % Aa, 10 % aa C. 50 % AA , 25 % As , 25 % aa * E....
Calculate the frequency of the a allele in a population made up of diploid individuals, using the following data: 39 individuals with the genotype AA 7 individuals with the genotype Aa 20 individuals with the genotype aa
4. The Hardy-Weinberg Principle. For a single locus, if the frequency of one allele (allele A) is 0.4, the frequency of the other allele (allele B) is 0.6, what are the expected frequencies of the AA genotype, the AB genotype and the BB genotype in the next generation? What are the eight assumptions that should be met when making the genotype frequency predictions? How do the eight assumptions serve to form a null model for evolution? Finally, how does one...
Suppose that allele A has a frequency of 0.2 in population X and 0.8 in population Y. After a single generation of gene flow between these populations, the frequency of A in population X is 0.4. What proportion of gametes (m) entered population X from population Y to explain this result?

1. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In a population of 120 cats, 35 are black. Black cats have the bb genotype. Find the allelic frequency of the dominant and recessive allele. 2. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A litter of 10 puppies has both tipped ears (a) and floppy ears (A). If 4 puppies have tipped ears in the litter. What is the frequency of the recessive allele? 3. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg...
If the allele frequencies for a particular locus are f(A)=0.4 and f(a)=0.6, what are the expected genotype frequencies under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(AA) = 0.16, f(Aa) = 0.48, f(aa) = 0.36 f(AA) = 0.25, f(Aa) = 0.5, f(aa) = 0.25 f(AA) = 0.4, f(Aa) = 0.24, f(aa) = 0.6 f(AA) = 0.8, f(Aa) = 0.4, f(aa) = 1.2 Which of the following is NOT true about genetic drift? Drift affects small populations more than large ones Drift can reduce a...
2pq+q? 1 If the dominant allele frequency is 0.8, what percent of the population will be homozygous In the Hardy Weinberg equation, p recessive? Ο Ο Ο Ο Ο
The genotype aa is lethal and yet the population has an equilibrium frequency for a of .40. If the fitness of Aa is 1, what is the fitness of the AA genotype?
1. A particular gene in a given population of individuals has two alleles, A and a. The frequency of the A allele equals the frequency of the a allele. What are the expected genotype frequencies, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? AA = 0.5, aa = 0.5 AA = 0.25, Aa = 0.50, aa = 0.25 O A = 0.5, a = 0.5 The answer cannot be determined because the allele frequencies are not provided.
