Question

Please help me

zx You eollect 10 slugs under a rock in your garden. You run a sample and stain the gel so that one particular enayme shows up. Your gel from each sl : h, 9 8 (a) What is the frequency of each allele in this population? (6 pts) is a Whast are the genoope frequencies in this population? (6 pts) (c) What genotype frequencies do you expect if the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (6 pts) (c) Name one force that may be operating on this population, and why it would create this pattern. (4 pts) 22 pts

Answer 1

23. a) ALLELE FREQUENCY/ GENE FREQUENCY: is thr relative frequency of a variant of gene at a particular locus in a population in terms of a percentage or fraction. It is considered as the fraction of all chromosomes in the population that carry the variant of a gene.

b) Genotype frequency in a population is the number of individuals with a given genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the populaion.

c) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium defines that allele and gentype frequencies in a population will remain constant for future generations in the absence of other evolutionary influences like mutation, gene flow, bottleneck, inbreeding and more. The expected genotype that are used in this population is for mating are homozygotes and heterozygotes.
