If two carriers of the gene for albinism marry and have children, then each of
their children has a probability of 1/4 of being albino. Let the random
variable Y denote the number of their albino children out of all 3 of their
children. Then Y follows a binomial(n. p) distribution. Find the values for n
and p.
n=
p=
Calculate the probability of families with the following children:
2 boys and 3 girls?
4 boys and 1 girl?

ADHD is a highly heritable trait with published broad sense heritability estimates in the range of 0.6-
0.9. Larsson et al. 2014 (doi: 10.1017/S0033291713002493 ) reported the concordance values
shown in the table below for pairs of monozygotic (MZ) or dizygotic (DZ) twins with data for male
and female pairs shown separately, using data from the Swedish twin register (59,000 twin pairs,
born between 1959 and 2001).
Male MZ twins Male DZ twins Female MZ twins Female DZ twins
56%
16%
37%
13%
Based on the data in this table, does ADHD appear to be more heritable in males or females?
Provide one sentence of rationale to support your answer.

- Pretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. So your hypothesis is that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out a chisquare goodness of fit test and calculate a total chisquare value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean? (select all true statements)a) The data do NOT fit the hypothesized distribution.b) The data do fit the hypothesized distribution well enough, so we accept the hypothesis at this time (i.e. we cannot reject the hypothesis). c) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too small, so we reject the hypothesis.d) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too big, so we reject the hypothesis.e) The data support Hardy-Weinberg expectations – there is no…arrow_forwardAssume you know the frequency of each allele p=0.8 so q=0.2.
