Question

ms Submit a set of Google Slides addressing the following questions. Calculation questions do not need to be referenced, but answering questions that require researching information do. Please follow correct citation guidelines. You will need to clarify on the first slide whether your disease is dominant or recessive. You must show your work. You can do so using text boxes, or by copy and pasting pictures of the problems worked out on paper. These pictures must be clear.

Answer 1

4. For a population to be in HWE it should follow the equation p + q = 1.

P = allelic frequency of dominant phenotype

q = allelic frequency of recessive genotype

So , q = √ 64/400 = 0.4

So frequency of p = 0.6 . & # of individual with dominant genotype = p2 × 400 = 0.6×0.6 × 400 = 144

Individuals with heterozygous phenotype = 2pq × 400 = 192

P^{​​​​​​2} + q^{​​​​​​2} + 2pq = 1

.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1 ( so population is in HWE) .

5. p + q + r = 1 ( allelic frequency )

p^{​​​​​​2} + q^{​​​​​​2} + r^{​​​​​​2} + 2pq + 2pr + 2qr = 1 ( genotypic frequency) .
