In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.

A total of 1000 members of a Central American population are typed for the ABO blood group. In the sample, 421 have blood type A, 168 have blood type B, 336 have blood type O, and 75 have blood type AB. Part A Use this information to determine the frequency of ABO blood group alleles in the sample. Recall that when considering genes with three alleles whose frequencies are represented by the variables p, q, and r, the sum of genotype frequencies resulting from trinomial expansion is: (p+q+r)² =p² + 2pq+q2+2pr+r²+2gr = 1
Which of the following statements does NOT apply to the Hardy-Weinberg expression: p2 + 2pq + q2? Group of answer choices p2 is the frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype. 2pq is the frequency of individuals with the heterozygous genotype. It can be used to determine the genotype and allele frequencies of the previous and the next generations. Knowing either p2 or q2, you can calculate all the other frequencies
An autosomal locus has alleles A and a. We are given the frequency of individuals with the autosomal recessive phenotype. Which of the following statements is TRUE? Choose all that are true. Note: HWE = Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium a) If we assume HWE, we can calculate both allele frequencies b) If we assume HWE, we can calculate the genotype frequencies that we weren't given c) We can calculate both allele frequencies even if we don't assume HWE d) We can calculate q = Freq(a) even if we don't assume HWE e) Even if we don't assume HWE, we can calculate the genotype frequencies that we weren't given
This lab exercise requires that we count certain Mendelian traits among students present in the lab. Your professor will explain each trait being addressed and will then ask students to identify if they are dominant or recessive for that specific trait. The collected traits will then be plugged into the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium formula in order to calculate frequency of Homozygous dominant, Heterozygous and Homozygous recessive individuals in the same. p2 + 2pq + q2 = 100 given data: trait: hair swirl 19 individuals total. 10 had the homozygous dominant hair swirl trait: clockwise the nine other were recessive please do a step by step explanation with the calculation using this data, as I am very unfamiliar with what values mean what and the equation itself thank you!
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In certainpopulations of Northern European descent, the number of peopleborn with this disorder is about 1 in 2500. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this trait:A. What are the frequencies for the common (non-disease-causing)allele and the mutant (disease-causing) allele.B. What are the genotype frequencies of homozygous unaffected,heterozygous, and homozygous affected individuals?C. Assuming random mating, what is the probability that twophenotypically unaffected heterozygous carriers will chooseeach other as mates?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In certain populations of Northern European descent, the number of people born with this disorder is about 1 in 2500. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium for this trait: A. What are the frequencies for the normal and CF alleles? B. What are the genotype frequencies of homozygous normal, heterozygous, and homozygous affected individuals? C. Assuming random mating, what is the probability that two phenotypically unaffected heterozygous carriers will choose each other as mates?
This is a classic data set on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Coloration in this species had been previously shown to behave as a single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance. Data for 1612 individuals are given below: White-spotted (AA) =1469 Intermediate (Aa) = 138 Little spotting (aa) =5 Calculate the following frequencies: A=, a=, AA=, Aa=, aa=
Consider a Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium population with an autosomal locus of 2 alleles, A1 and A2. If P(A1A2) = 8 * P(A1A1), what are the allele frequencies at the locus?
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes. (Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.) To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.

Nieman-Pick Syndrome involves a defective enzyme, sphyngomylinase. It is usually fatal before the age of 3. The defective allele frequency is 0.01 in Ashkenazi populations. Let’s call the healthy allele A, and the lethal allele a. a) What is the frequency of allele A? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many people do you expect to have the three genotypes in a population of 10,000? b) AA:_______ c) Aa:________ d) aa:_________
Suppose there is an autosomal locus of 2 alleles, A1 and A2, with probabilities (frequencies) p1 and p2, and the genotype probabilities (frequencies) are P(A1A1) = p1*p1, P(A1A2) = 2*p1*p2, and P(A2A2) = p2*p2, respectively. Prove the Hardy-Weinberg Law, i.e., after one generation of random mating, the genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring are also P(A1A1) = p1*p1, P(A1A2) = 2*p1*p2, and P(A2A2) = p2*p2. Hint: List all possible combinations of random mating. Then list the probabilities of the resulting genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring. Combine the probabilities of random mating and resulting genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring.
