You're studying genotypes at a gene that you've discovered contributes to shoulder inflammatory disease. The gene has two alleles: Q and q. QQ homozygotes produce, on average, 2.2 kids. Qq heterozygotes also produce, on average, 2.2 kids. However, qq homozygotes are more likely to have the disease, and therefore, produce, on average, 1.7 kids. What is the relative fitness of the qq genotype? show your work

1. Suppose a population of organisms is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. In the population, a gene has two alleles, B and b. If the frequency of B is 0.72 and the frequency of b is 0.28, what are the expected genotype frequencies of BB, Bb, and bb? Calculate each frequency to two decimal places.

1. A particular gene in a given population of individuals has two alleles, A and a. The frequency of the A allele equals the frequency of the a allele. What are the expected genotype frequencies, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? AA = 0.5, aa = 0.5 AA = 0.25, Aa = 0.50, aa = 0.25 O A = 0.5, a = 0.5 The answer cannot be determined because the allele frequencies are not provided.

Problem Description: A gene with two alleles (e.g. A and a) is responsible for a dominant trait in Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis). AA individuals have a normal phenotype, while those with aa lack the trait. Heterozygotes have phenotypes that are identical to AA individuals. Although aa individuals have lower survivorship (15%) than those with the “normal” trait (35%), they have higher fecundity over their lifetime (100 individuals for aa; compared to 48 for AA and Aa). Assume the allele frequency of...

Climate change is a threat to the existence of many species.
QUESTION 2 Climate change is a threat to the existence of many species. Which of the following limits to natural selection hinders the adaptation of species to the new climate conditions? The developmental plans of plants and animals are too complex. They cannot cope with the warmer temperatures. Mutations happen so frequently that beneficial alleles change before natural selection can substantially increase their frequency Many species not have gene variants in their gene pool that are beneficial in higher temperatures. Climate change happens so...

The relative fitness (w) of three genotypes are wAA=1, wAa=1, and waa=0.5, indicating that the waa genotype has fitness that is only 50% as high as the fitness of the wAA and wAa genotypes. A population starts with p=0.7 and q= 0.3, where p and q are the frequencies of the A and a alleles, respectively. What will be the value of p in the next generation, following one round of selection? Important information regarding your calculations: please provide an...
Suppose that individuals in a population of annual plants have leaves that are divided into leaflets,...
Suppose that individuals in a population of annual plants have leaves that are divided into leaflets, toothed along the edges, or smooth along the edges. The degree to which the leaves are divided is determined by a single gene with two alleles. The genotype DD results in leaves with smooth edges, the genotype Dd results in leaves with toothed edges, and the genotype dd results in divided leaves. Calculate the genotype frequencies of a population that contains 128 individuals with...
