  1. Locus A has two alleles (A and a) while locus B has two alleles (B and b). The recombination frequency between locus A and locus B is 17%. A F1 heterozygote in trans-configuration is mated with an aabb individual. What are the expected phenotypic percentages in the resulting progeny? Round your percentages to the nearest tenths and in the following format, replacing the "0.0" with your percentages:

    ----------% AB/ab, ---------------% ab/ab, --------------- % Ab/ab, ----------------- % aB/ab

    Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advantage relative to b, so that the fitnesses of the three genotypes are BB = 1, Bb = 1, and bb = 1-s. In this case, s = 0.50, so that bb homozygotes have 50% fitness of heterozygotes and BB homozygotes. If the population has the following genotypic counts prior to selection of BB =...

    Consider a locus with two alleles - A and a. These alleles are codominant, meaning that the fitness of the heterozygote is halfway between either homozygote. Consider further a population of randomly mating green frogs where the genotype counts are AA = 500, Aa = 250, and aa = 250. In this population the relative fitnesses of each genotype are AA = 1.00, Aa = 0.80, and aa = 0.60. What is the expected allele frequency change for A after...

    Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Assume that 40% of all the alleles in a certain population are type A and 30% are type B. The locus is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the proportion of organisms that are of type AB is (0.40)(0.30) = 0.12. In a sample of 300 organisms, 42 are of type AB. Can you conclude that this locus is not in...
