According to HWE, p (dominat allele) + q (recessive alllele) = 1
p2 (DD) + 2pq (Dd)+ q2 (dd) = 1
9. DD (genotypic frequency) = 0.81
D (allelic frequency) = 0.811/2 = 0.9
Frequency of D allele is 0.9.
10. In HWE, the sum of the DD, DD and Dd should be equal to 1.
here, 0.81 + 0.18 + 0.01 = 1.00
So, it is under HWE.
Please rate.

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...

In the figure, p is the frequency of allele A, and is the frequency of allele a in a diploid population. Assuming no differences in fitness, pand should also be the frequencies of A gametes and a gametes produced by the adults. The A and a gametes combine during fertilization to produce diploid zygotes. If mating is random and the population is large, the proportion of offspring with each of three genotypes (AA, Aa, and aa) can be predicted using...

4. In the human population there is a recessive allele, d, that results in both polydactylism and dwarfism. The Amish are a small religious denomination founded in Switzerland in 1693. The incidence of the allele "d" in the Amish population is higher as compared with the greater human population. Studies have revealed that the original Swiss Amish population consisted of 10,000 individuals; 8100 with DD genotype, 1800 with Dd genotype, and 100 with dd genotype. Assuming this population is in...

For a particular gene associated with a degenerative neurological disorder, you surveyed genotype frequencies in a population and found that 16 people had genotype AA, 97 had genotype Aa, 15 had genotype aa. a) Calculate the allele frequencies. b) Calculate the expected genotype frequencies under Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Use the chi-square test to determine whether the observed number of people with different genotypes and expected number of people with different genotypes are significantly different (at an alpha level of 0.05). What...
