Suppose there is an x-linked recessive disease linked to baldness. In a large randomly mating population of 1600 females, 1 is bald from the genetic disorder. What is the allelic frequency of males with hair.
Homework Answers
Answer:
Frequency of bald females =q^2=1/1600= 0.000625
Frequency of baldness allele=q= sqrt of 0.000625= 0.025
The normal allele = p= 1-0.025= 0.975
The frequency of allele = The frequency of phenotype in males (as males have only one chromosome)
Therefore the frequency of males with hair = 0.975

Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. Suppose a group of 100 female and 100 male astronauts is sent to colonize a planet. 20 of the males are colorblind. 10 of the females are colorblind, and 30 are carriers. If this population were to establish a randomly mating colony in regards to this trait, what would you predict the frequency of colorblind males to be in the population over time if it were to immediately achieve and remain in Hardy-Weinberg...

Consider an X-linked recessive trait that is present in 5% of the males in a population. Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and a 1:1 sex ratio in the population. What is the frequency of the trait in the females of that population? Refer to question 7. What is the frequency of carrier females in that population? ** I understand how to do part one but not sure how to do part two. The correct answer is 0.0950**

1) In a population genetic screening study for an autosomal recessive disease, you observe an allelic frequency of 0.8 for the dominant allele and 0.2 for the disease-causing recessive allele. What is the frequency of the disease (phenotypic) in the population? show work (i.e. Punnett's squares or other) especially

2) Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive neurological disorder that is fatal in infancy. Despite its invariably lethal effect, Tay-Sachs disease occurs at very high frequency in some Central and Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish populations. In certain Ashkenazi populations, 1 in 1000 infants has Tay-Sachs disease. Population biologists believe the high frequency is a consequence of genetic bottlenecks caused by pogroms (genocide) that have reduced the population multiple times in the last several hundred years. a) In the population described,...

scalloped (sd) is an X-linked recessive and ebony (e) is an autosomal recessive mutation. What proportion of scalloped, ebony females (relative to whole population) is expected in the F2 starting with a true breeding scalloped female which is wild type for ebony mating with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony. ANSWER: 1/16 PLEASE PROVIDE A WELL EXPLAINED ANSWER PLEASE!
