For a recessive X-linked trait there are 9 affected females in every 10,000 women. How many men in 10,000 are affected by the trait if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Answer:
The frequency of recissive X-linked trait = q^2 = 9/10000 = 0.0009
Frequency of recessive allele = q= SQRT of 0.0009 = 0.03
The X-linked recessive allele frequency = recessive X-linked phenotype frequency in male (as males have only one X-chromosome)
Therefore the frequency of recessive X-linked trait = 0.03 or 3%
3% out of 10000 = 300
Hence, 300 men may the have the trait out of 10000 people.

Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive trait. In a population of 2000 people, 4 women have hemophilia, 30 men have hemophilia, and 80 are carriers of the disorder. What is the frequency of the hemophilia allele? (Assume the population is 50% men and 50% women.) a.0.059 b.0.033 c.0.057 d.0.039 e.0.038 In a population of 15,000 individuals, 1350 express a recessive trait. How many heterozygotes are there expected to be? a.2100 b.3150 c.6300 d.1800 e.4200
Red-green colorblindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. Suppose a group of 100 female and 100 male astronauts is sent to colonize a planet. 20 of the males are colorblind. 10 of the females are colorblind, and 30 are carriers. If this population were to establish a randomly mating colony in regards to this trait, what would you predict the frequency of colorblind males to be in the population over time if it were to immediately achieve and remain in Hardy-Weinberg...

Fill in the blank. Hemophilia is an X-linked trait. In a population of 20,000 people in HW equilibrium, 10,000 women and 10,000 men were tested for this trait, and 15 men were found to have the disorder. The value that you calculated for the Hemophilia allele was (to 4 decimal places) _______ and there would be _______ carrier females in this population.
In a population of interest, 1 in 2000 women are affected with haemophilia A, an X-linked recessive condition. a) What is the carrier frequency in this population for Haemophilia A? b) What is the expected frequency of men affected with Haemophilia A?
3. A trait determined by an X-linked dominant allele shows 100 percent penetrance and is expressed in 9 percent of the females in a population. Assuming that the population Is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the males in this population express the trait? Show your work. (4 pts) *4. Individuals with the genotype ee are 22 percent less fit than individuals with the genotypes EE or Ee. If E is present in this population at a frequency of 0.65,...
How come p=0.2 only represents dominant phenotype in males? How about p allele in females? Doesn’t P= 0.2 represents p allele in both males and females in the population? *23.9 A trait determined by an X-linked dominant allele shows 100 percent penetrance and is expressed in 36 percent of the females in a population. Assuming that the population is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the males in this population express the trait? ANS: In females, the frequency of...

Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Heterozygous females have normal color vision but are carriers of the allele for red-green color blindness. Based on the information presented in the pedigree, select all of the females from the list below that are known carriers of red-green color blindness.
