Lab 14 - Hardy-Weinberg problems
The frequencies of two alleles in a gene pool are 0.81 (P) and 0.19 (p). Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the population that is heterozygous at this gene locus?

Give the Hardy–Weinberg expected genotypic frequencies for an autosomal locus with three alleles, where the frequencies of alleles A1, A2, and A3 are defined as p, q, and r, respectively. Set the problem up and show your work. Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. Among Ashkenazi Jews, the frequency of Tay–Sachs disease is 1 in 3600. If the Ashkenazi population is mating randomly for the Tay–Sachs gene, what proportion of the population consists of heterozygous carriers of the Tay–Sachs...

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. 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.

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,...

Which of the following statements regarding the Hardy-Weinberg Equation is TRUE? Answers: It can only be used when allele and genotype frequencies remain constant across generations in a population It can only be used when allele and genotype frequencies change across generations in a population It has no assumptions It mathematically shows how recessive alleles in a population decrease over time It reveals when allele frequencies change over time in a population Assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what percentage of individuals in...

4. The Hardy-Weinberg Proof. Consider a gene that has only two alleles R (dominant) and r (recessive). The sum total of all R plus all r alleles equals all the alleles at this gene locus, or 100% of all the alleles for that gene. Let p = the percentage or probability of all R alleles in the population. Let q = the percentage or probability of all r alleles in the population. If all R + all r alleles =...
