Answer 1

Answer #1

Total populations = 724

Homozygous = Red or blue, blue= 216, red=?

Heterozygous = purple = 126

So, 216+126= 342

RED= 724- 342= 382

By the equation = p+q= 1,

q2 = 382/ 724= 0.527.

Red( q) = 0.725

a) So the frequency of red allele(q) = 0.725

B) and genotypic frequency of red = q2= 0.527.

In a population of guppies living in a stream there is a color polymorphism. Homozygous tropical individuals have either blue or red stripes, depending on the allele they carry. Heterozygotes have purple stripes. You sample 724 guppies from the pond. 216 are blue, and 126 are purple. a) What is the frequency of the red allele in your sample? b) What is the frequency of the red genotype in your sample?

1. You are studying a color polymorphism in a population of soapberry bugs. A single gene controls color variation; individuals with at least 1 copy of the R allele at this locus are red while individuals of the rr genotype are white. You know that this population satisfies the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, and that 64% of the population shows the red phenotype. What is the frequency of the R allele? Show your work. 2. Male Trinidadian guppies use bright...

Male Trinidadian guppies use bright red patches of color to attract mates. Your colleague has recently sequenced 400 individual guppies at the opsin gene that controls sensitivity to red wavelengths in light. He has found a new variant of this gene that increases sensitivity to red in his samples. Unfortunately, a computer malfunction has scrambled his data and he no longer knows which alleles come from heterozygotes or homozygotes. Based on his recods, 80 of the 800 alleles sequenced are...

1) Select the true statements about dominant and recessive genes, assuming complete penetrance of the genotype. Circle all that apply. (1.5) For an offspring to be phenotypically dominant for a trait, at least one parent will show the trait. For an offspring to be phenotypically recessive for a trait, at least one parent will show the trait. In incomplete dominant or codominant traits, heterozygotes will have a different phenotype than either homozygote. If both parents show a recessive trait, then...

A population of flour beetles has 1000 individuals. Normally the beetles are red in color; however, this population has a utation in the gene for body color that results in black beetles that are designated by the rr genotype. Red body color is dominant to black so the genotypes RR and Rr result in red beetles. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with a 50% frequency of each allele for body color. A) --- what is the frequency of...

In a population of 100 jellyfish the gene for body color (blue or purple) is controlled by a single diploid gene. The allele for blue (B) is dominant over the allele for purple(b), 43 jellyfish in the population are purple. a. What is the frequency of the dominant allele (B)? b. What is the heterozygous genotype frequency (Bb)? c. How many homozygous dominant jellyfish are there in the population?

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...

part B 2. (4pts) In a strain of Petunia that normally have purple flowers, recessive and dominant mutations at the red color locus (R locus : R+ = wildtype allele, purple) lead to different flower colors. Plants that carry a particular dominant allele Ra have pink petals. Of the individuals that carry one allele of the dominant allele Rb roughly 20% have normally colored purple petals, the remaining 80% show a range of lighter red colors. Individuals that are homozygous...
