Homework Answers
The frequency of an allele is defined as the total number of copies of thatallele in the population divided by the total number of copies of all alleles of the gene. We can calculate populationallele frequencies from genotypenumbers.
13.
a. Frequency of A allele= 210+ 90/500 = 300/500 = 0.6
b. Frequency of a allele = 110+90 /500 = 200/500 = 0.4
c. This is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
Because p+ q = 1 in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
Here 0.4+ 0.6= 1
d.Chi-squaretest for H-W equilibrium can be calculated as the sum of squared deviations, each divided by the expected number.

Consider a locus of interest that has two alleles: A and a. A diploid individual carrying these alleles can have one of three genotypes: AA, Aa, or aa; a population will consist of some combination of AA, Aa, and aa individuals. The relatively frequency of each of these genotypes makes up the population's structure. Hardy and Weinberg independently figured out that, in the absence of forces that cause evolutionary change, the population structure will 'settle' or default to equilibrium values,...

A population of 100 crayfishes were observed in the wild. Three colors exist in this population; 47 red (RR), 13 orange (RY), and 40 yellow (YY). A. Calculate the observed total number of each allele in the population (1 point) and the observed allele frequencies (1 points). B. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation (p2 +2pq+q2=1.0) calculate what the predicted genotype frequencies would be if under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (2 points) and calculate the predicted number individuals of each genotype (2 points)....

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.
