Consider two genes that are independent, the A gene and the B gene. Each gene has two alleles (A gene: A1 and A2, B gene: B1 and B2). The frequency of A1 allele at the A gene is 0.67 and the frequency of the B2 allele at the B gene is 0.21. What is the probability of an individual in a randomly mating population of having A1A2B1B2 as their genotype?
(calculate to 4 decimal places
Homework Answers
since probability of having A1A2 allele =2*pq =2*0.67*0.33=0.4422
and probability of having B1B2 allele=2*0.21*0.79 = 0.3318
probability of an individual in a randomly mating population of having A1A2B1B2 as their genotype
=P(A1A2)*P(B1B2) =0.4422*0.3318 =0.1467

Consider two genes in a large, randomly mating population of turtles with no movement of individuals...
Consider two genes in a large, randomly mating population of turtles with no movement of individuals in and out of the population and no mutation. The two alleles at one gene, L and M, do not affect fitness. The two alleles at the other gene, T and t, do affect fitness -- they affect the thickness of turtle shells, and the degree to which they are protected from predation. TT individuals have thick shells, which repel predators, and survive best....

A gene has four alleles, A1, A2, A3, and A4. The alleles occur in a population at the following frequencies: A1=0.2, A2=0.1, A3=0.4, A4=0.3. Compute the following: a) Probability that a single allele chosen at random is either A1 or A4 b) Probability than an individual as two A1 alleles c) Probability that an individual has one A1 and one A3 allele d) Probability that an individual is NOT A1A1 e) Probability that if we drew two individuals at random,...

Consider again the hypothetical population with two genes, each with two alleles (A & a, B & b) as in questions 6 & 7. Suppose in 2019, that the genotype frequency of individuals with "aa" (regardless of their B/b genes) was at 0.09. What is the frequency of the "A"allele in this population? a.0.42 b.0.7 c.0.16 d.0.91

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...

Suppose a population of organisms is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to a gene that has two alleles, Y and y. The YY genotype has a frequency of 0.11, the Yy genotype has a frequency of 0.44, and the yy genotype has a frequency of 0.45. Calculate the frequency of each allele to two decimal places. Y allele frequency: y allele frequency:

2. Which of the following correctly describes how inbreeding will affect genotype and allele frequencies in Hardy-Weinberg populations? Genotype and allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of heterozygotes will decrease, but allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of homozygotes will increase, and deleterious alleles will decrease. Beneficial alleles will increase in frequency, as well as the genotypes containing those alleles. Genotype frequencies will return to H-W expectations after 1 generation of random mating. 3. Consider a population with...
Two alleles (Adh' and Adh') of the Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) gene exist in a large randomly-mating population of Drosophila
Two alleles (Adh' and Adh') of the Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) gene exist in a large randomly-mating population of Drosophila. Researchers have determined the genotypes of the flies using gel electrophoresis. The number of individuals exhibiting all of the possible genotypes are listed in the table below. What are the allele and genotype frequencies for this population with respect to the Adh locus (please round to 2 decimal places)? Effects of Inbreeding Suppose that the population on the previous page is experiencing inbreeding...
