1,If a specific gene has 9 different co-dominant alleles in a population, how many degrees of freedom are there when doing a chi-square test?
2,The following gel shows a single co-dominant polymorphic locus
for 9 individuals. Calculate Nei's heterozygosity at this
locus.
3, If H=.30, p=0.35 and q=0.65, is there a deficiency or excess of heterozygotes in the population?
Homework Answers
Chi square test is a statistical hypothesis test.
The number of variables in cross-classification will determine the degrees of freedom of chi square test.
Degree of freedom is described as number of scores that are free to vary.
degrees of freedom = n-1 where n is number of classes.

4. The Hardy-Weinberg Proof. Consider a gene that has only two alleles R (dominant) and r (recessive). The sum total of all R plus all r alleles equals all the alleles at this gene locus, or 100% of all the alleles for that gene. Let p = the percentage or probability of all R alleles in the population. Let q = the percentage or probability of all r alleles in the population. If all R + all r alleles =...

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...

1. Fixation of Dominant Alleles Start with a population that has a gene with two alleles (A and a) with classical Mendelian dominance that are at equal frequency (p0.5. q 0.5). Assume this first generation is at hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Calculate the genotype frequencies AA- a. Aa b. Now assume some environmental change that makes the recessive phenotype completely unfit (fitness- 0). Calculate the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in the second generation. (Hint: Your calculations might be easier if...

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...

8. You are studying an annual wildflower population. Flower color is either red or yellow and is controlled by a single locus with 2 alleles: R and y. Red is dominant to yellow, and both homozygous RR individuals and heterozygous individuals have red flowers, while yy individuals have yellow flowers. You have been studying this population for a long time and have seen fairly consistent allele frequencies for these two colors, with R=0.65 and y=0.35. Two years ago, a new...

In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...

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...

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...
