1) In a species of flower, A = red, a = white and these alleles exhibit incomplete dominance. You have 40 red flowers, 20 pink flowers and 30 white flowers. What are your genotype frequencies and allele frequencies?

2) In a species of beetles, G = green and g = blue; G is dominant to g. You have 51 green beetles and 49 blue beetles. Assuming your population is in HWE, what are your allele and genotype frequencies

Answer #1

FREQUENCY OF aa GENOTYPE IS EQUAL TO NUMBER OF aa GENOTYPE INDIVIDUALS DIVIDED BY TOTAL NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS. SIMILARLY FREQUENCY OF AA AND Aa GENOTYPE CAN BE FIND OUT.

Genetics Experience Please The R locus determines flower color in a new plant species. Plants that are genotype RR have red flowers, and plants that are rr have white flowers. However, Rr plants have pink flowers. What type of inheritance does this demonstrate for flower color in these plants? Incomplete dominance Complementation Lethal alleles Codominance Complete dominance

II. MONOHYBRID PROBLEMS WITH INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE 8. Petunia flower color is governed by two alleles, but neither allele is truly dominant over the other. Petunias with the genotype R R are red-flowered, those that are heterozygous (R W ) are pink, while those with the (WW ) genotype have white flowers. This is an example of incomplete dominance. a. If a white-flowered plant is crossed with a red-flowered plant, what is the genotypic ratio of the F1? __________________________________________________________ b. What...

In wild petunias, the allele for red flower color (R) is dominant over the allele for white flower color (r). We sample a population and find 750 plants have white flowers and 270 have red flowers. If the population is in HWE, what are the allele frequencies of R and r in this population? How many of the 270 plants that have red flowers are homozygous and how many are heterozygous at the flower color locus? Show your work and...

In wild petunias, the allele for red flower color (R) is dominant over the allele for white flower color (r). We sample a population and find 240 plants have white flowers and 85 have red flowers. If the population is in HWE, what are the allele frequencies of R and r in this population? How many of the 85 plants that have red flowers are homozygous and how many are heterozygous at the flower color locus?

0. In snapdragons, the alleles for flower color show incomplete dominance. CRCR produces red flowers; CWCW produces white flowers and CRCW produces pink flowers. The height of the plant is determined by a separate gene with regular dominant and recessive alleles. Normal height (D) is dominant over dwarf height (d). a. A snapdragon that is heterozygous normal in height and has white flowers is crossed with a plant that is dwarf in height and has red flowers. What is the...

1. A plant with red flowers is crossed with a white-flowered plant of the same species. All the seeds, when grown, produce plants with red flowers. Assuming that the flower color is controlled by a single pair of alleles, which allele is dominant and which is recessive? 2. How does inbreeding increase the incidence of recessive disorders in a population? 3. Why does an individual always have only two alleles for a given gene? 4. In cats, the allele (S) for short fur...

1. You are studying a population of sandblossoms (Linanthus parryae) that has individuals with blue and white flowers. The allele for white flowers (A) is dominant to the allele for blue flowers (a). In the population you survey, 91 out of 100 individuals have white flowers. Based on this information: a. Calculate the frequency of the A and a alleles. b. Calculate the numbers of each genotype. 2. A population of snapdragons (Antirrhinum hispanicum) has two additive alleles for flower...

1. Genetically identical plants are planted in a garden. Ones on the east edge of the garden produce blue flowers; the others produce pink flowers. How can this best be explained? environmental factors influence flower color the alleles are codominant the allele for blue flowers is dominant a mutation must have occurred multiple alleles affect flower color 2. In a species of mammal, some individuals are true-breeding for red hair. Others are true-breeding for brown hair. A true-breeding red individual...

The occurrence of the NN blood group genotype in the US population is 1 in 400, consider NN as the homozygous recessive genotype in this population. You sample 1,000 individuals from a large population for the MN blood group, which can easily be measured since co-dominance is involved (i.e., you can detect the heterozygotes). They are typed accordingly: BLOOD TYPE GENOTYPE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RESULTING FREQUENCY M MM 490 0.49 MN MN 420 0.42 N NN 90 0.09 Using the...
