In a population of 4,549 moths, you observe 622 moths that have large spots on their wings. You identify that having large spots is dominant over small spots (aa), but the trait displays incomplete dominance (Aa individuals have medium spots). What is the frequency of the A allele in the population (be sure to round to 4 decimal places)?
Homework Answers
Out of 4549, 622 moths have large spots on their wings
3927 moths have both small and medium spots
Allele frequencies p+q=1
p=no. of copies of A allele/total population number
p=1244/4549 = 0.2734
q=1-p => 1-0.2734 = 0.7266

1. You are studying a population of sandblossoms (Linanthus parryae) that has individuals with blue and white flowers. The allele for white flowers (A) is dominant to the allele for blue flowers (a). In the population you survey, 91 out of 100 individuals have white flowers. Based on this information: a. Calculate the frequency of the A and a alleles. b. Calculate the numbers of each genotype. 2. A population of snapdragons (Antirrhinum hispanicum) has two additive alleles for flower...

In your in-class activities two weeks ago, we asked you about a population of spruce warblers living on a remote tropical island. This week, consider a different population of spruce warblers living on a different tropical island. Like that previous week’s population, the size of these warblers’ feet is determined by one gene with two alleles: F and f. These alleles show incomplete dominance, with FF individuals having large feet, Ffhaving medium feet, and ff having small feet. You capture...

The occurrence of the NN blood group genotype in the US population is 1 in 400, consider NN as the homozygous recessive genotype in this population. You sample 1,000 individuals from a large population for the MN blood group, which can easily be measured since co-dominance is involved (i.e., you can detect the heterozygotes). They are typed accordingly: BLOOD TYPE GENOTYPE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RESULTING FREQUENCY M MM 490 0.49 MN MN 420 0.42 N NN 90 0.09 Using the...

Question1 2 pts A population of ferrets with a neutral allele F governing coat color. F shows incomplete dominance such that FF ferrets are black, Ff ferrets are grey, and ff ferrets are white. They migrate from the mainland, where the F allele is at an abundance of 50%, to three islands. These islands differ in size one small, one medium-sized, and one large. The larger islands can support more ferrets. A stable population of 50 ferrets lives on the...
