In the population of Bosmina Longriritris there are two types of phosphoglucose isomerases resulting form two alleles S^1 AND S^2. In 176 Bosmina, the following genotypes were determined using biochemical methods :
Genotypes Number
S^1 S^1 4
S^1 S^3 38
S^2 S^2 134
a.Calculate the genotypic frequency for the S^2 S^2 individuals in the population.
b. Calculate the frequency of the S^2 allele in this population.
Please explain work to understand if you don't mind.
Homework Answers
Genotypic frequency = number of individuals with the genotype / total number of individuals
Allelic frequency = number of individuals with the genotype / total number of individuals + 1/2 number of heterozygotes / Total number of individuals
Please rate high.

AL11 Activity 4: Multiple alleles with Codominance 1. Some traits in a population are determined by multiple alleles. For example, there are three alleles for Mood type in the human population (type A), P type B). and i lypeo). Different combinations of these alleles (each individual can inherit only two alleles) produce the four different blood types (phenotypes) that we are familiar with Based upon the symbols alone, what can you predict about the relationships between each of the following...

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...

2.3 Problem 3 The Hardy-Weinberg equation is useful for predicting the percent of a hu- man population that may be heterozygous carriers of recessive alleles for certain genetic diseases. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a human metabolic dis- order that results in mental retardation if it is untreated in infancy. In the United States, one out of approximately 10.000 babies is born with the disor- der. Approximately what percent of the population are heterozygous carriers of the recessive PKU allele? If you...

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: An ichthyologist wants to determine if a population of Lumpsuckers is evolving. He samples 5,000 fish and determines their genotype for an AFLP locus with two alleles: B (band) and Nb (no band). He notices that 3,500 individuals are homozygous for the B allele, with the rest of individuals equally divided amongst heterozygotes and Nb homozygotes. Questions: How many individuals are there in the sample for the other two genotypes? (2 pts) What are the observed genotypic frequencies...
