Total number of individuals = 1707
Number of tasters = 1326
Number of non tasters = 1707 - 1326 = 381
Tasters = TT, Tt
Non tasters = tt
Genotypic frequency of non tasters = tt = 381/1707 = 0.224
Allelic frequency of t = √0.224 = 0.473
Allelic frequency of T = 1 - 0.473 = 0.527
Genotypic frequency of TT = 0.527 × 0.527 = 0.278
Genotypic frequency of Tt = 2 × 0.527 × 0.473 = 0.498
Proportion of mating between two non tasters = tt × tt × 100 = 0.224 × 0.224 × 100 = 5.01%

Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an organosulfur thiourea that has an excessively bitter taste to some individuals and is virtually tasteless to others. This taste response is due to a single gene, where the tasting allele (T) is dominant to the non-tasting allele (t). a. If two tasters that are both heterozygous at the tasting locus have 6 children, what is the probability that they are: non-taster, non-taster, taster, taster, taster and taster in that exact order? b. What is the probability...

The compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) tastes very bitter to most people. The inability to taste PTC is controlled by a single autosomal recessive allele. In the American white population, about 70% can taste PTC while 30% cannot (are non-tasters). Estimate the frequencies of the Taster (T) and non-taster (t) alleles in this population. How common are carriers (those carrying the allele, but not displaying the phenotype) of the non-taster allele? What assumption did you make to carry out your calculations how...

The ability to taste the bitter compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an autosomal dominant trait. The inability to taste PTC is a recessive condition. In a sample of 500 people, 391 have the ability to taste PTC and 109 do not. Calculate the frequency of: A. the recessive allele. Express your answer using two decimal places. B.the dominant allele. Express your answer using two decimal places. C.the homozygous dominant genotype. Express your answer using two decimal places. D.the homozygous recessive genotype....

5. Certain people are able to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) when it is present in wet filter paper. These people are called 'tasters'. Others are unable to detect PTC and have the 'nontaster' phenotype. PTC tasting is an example of variation in sensory perception, and the genetic basis is thought to be rather simple. The ability to taste PTC is attributed to a dominant allele, denoted T, located on chromosome 7. The recessive allele is designated t. From analysis...

Two people who are “carriers” of (heterozygous) for Tay Sachs disease marry and plan a family. What is the probability that a child from this union will suffer from Tay Sachs disease. (Recall that this is an autosomal recessive disorder, that is, homozygous recessives have the disease.) a. Zero b. 0.25 c. 0.5 d. 0.75 e. 1.0 6. At Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, heterozygotes are the most common genotype in the population when- a. b. c. d . p> 0.67 q>0.67 and...

Humans carry the dominant allele T can taste the bitter substance PTC, while tt homozygotes cannot. In a population where the frequency of the T allele is 0.4, what is the probability that a particular taster is a heterozygote? Please explain the answer.

5. Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between O and 1 rounded to two decimal places 6.

(For questions 1 – 3) The peppered moth, Biston betularia, experienced a dominant mutation in the cortex gene, located on chromosome 17, about 1819 in England. This mutation is responsible for the melanism mutation that causes dark coloration. The mutation is due to an insertion of a large, tandemly repeated, transposable element into the gene’s first intron. The ‘normal’ (non-mutant) coloration pattern is peppered light grey. 1. Melanism is a Mendelian trait. Refer to the alleles as M and m....
