In the Ireland, 10% of the population is red
haired. Assuming mating is random, what is the frequency of
heterozygotes in Ireland?
Homework Answers
It is given that 10% of the individual in a population have red hair. The frequency of red hair individual is 0.10
The allelic frequency for red (r) allele is √0.10= 0.316227766
The allelic frequency of R is 1- r= 1-0.31622776=-l 0.683772234
The heterozygous frequency is 2× R×r = 2×0.316227766× 0.683772234= 0.432455532
On round off upt9 two decimal place, the answer is 0.43

In a hypothetical population which is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency for a recessive allele is 30%. What percentage of the population would be expected to show the dominant trait in the next generation? Humans who are born homozygous for the recessive sickle cell allele die of sickle cell anemia, while those who are heterozygous are resistant to malaria (see chapter 4 for more information on this balanced polymorphism). 4% of the population of the Congo are homozygous recessive for...

in a study, 8 long-haired rats and 7 short haired rats were selected at random the heights of these rats were then measured. let μ1 and μ2 be the population mean height of both the long-haired and short-haired rats (respectively). Assume that the length measurements for both populations are normally distributed. long-haired rats: n1=8, x̄1=185, s1=8 short-haired rats: n1=7, x̄2=198, s2=10 i) what is the evidence (very strong / strong / moderate / little or no) we have against the...

In an infinitely large, diploid, random-mating population, we observe the frequency of nonsense mutations is equal to 10^-4 in a gene. A) If we assume the nonsense mutations cause complete infertility and are completely dominant, what is the nonsense mutation rate per gene per generation? (2 points) B) If we assume the nonsense mutations cause complete infertility but are complete recessive, what is the nonsense mutation rate? (2 points)

2. Which of the following correctly describes how inbreeding will affect genotype and allele frequencies in Hardy-Weinberg populations? Genotype and allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of heterozygotes will decrease, but allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of homozygotes will increase, and deleterious alleles will decrease. Beneficial alleles will increase in frequency, as well as the genotypes containing those alleles. Genotype frequencies will return to H-W expectations after 1 generation of random mating. 3. Consider a population with...
