In a given population of flies, pink skin (e) is recessive to the wild-type skin (E). A population has 96 pink flies, and 125 that have wild type skin. What is the frequency of alleles in this population? Assume HW equilibrium.
Explain every step please
Homework Answers
total number of flies=96+125
=221
Frequency of pink flies ( genotypic frequency of ee)= number of pink flies/ total number
=96/125
=0.768
frequency of allele e= square root of the genotypic frequency of ee
= square root of 0.768
=0.8763
frequency of allele E+ frequency of allele e=1
frequency of allele E= 1- frequency of allele e
=1-0.8763
=0.1237

Some fruit flies have an autosomal mutation that causes the recessive white-eyes to appear compared to the wild-type (dominant) red eyes, while others have an X-linked mutation that causes the same varieties. You are presented with two populations of flies in unmarked tubes: one that has the autosomal white-eye mutation, and a population that has the X-linked mutation for white-eye. Assuming you have separated the pure breeding red and white-eyed parents in each population, What is the set of two...

In humans, sickle-cell anemia (HBBSHBBS) is caused by the recessive condition of an autosomal gene with two alleles: HBBA (wild-type) and HBBS (sickle-cell mutation). In one population, the frequency of individuals who do not suffer from sickle-cell anemia (HBBAHBBA and HBBAHBBS) is 0.9964. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the HBBS allele?

12. A small portion of deer have a trait called leucism, which is white coat. The frequency of the leucitic phenotype is 0.00005 (or 1/20,000). Leucism is recessive to wild type color. Assuming that the deer population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium fr A. Estimate the frequencies of the recessive leucistic allele (I) and the dominant wild type allele (L) B. Estimate the frequency of deer with heterozygous genotype C. For the calculations above, you assume...

On the island of Notion, in the Factotum Archipelago, there lives a population of pencil bears. A portion of these bears have silky fur, and as a result, are much better surfers. The texture of the fur is determined by a single autosomal locus with two alleles: S (trait allele) and s (wild type allele). In a recent study, researched collected the values in the following table: Table 1. Counts of Pencil Bear fur style by genotype Phenotype Genotype Silky...

4. Albinism is due to a recessive, autosomal mutation. The frequency of albino squirrels is 4 x 10, while heterozygous squirrels, which are tan colored (and are lighter than wild- type squirrels), occur at frequency 0.004.

If the mutation rate to new albino alleles is 10, what is the reduction of fitness of the heterozygote?
