22. Imagine that a new population of humans is established on a new planet from ten randomly selected people in your genetics class (five males and five females). Over thousands of years, the descendants of those ten people reproduce and prosper, but do not reflect well the diversity of humans on Earth. This change in the diversity of people on the new planet is an example of inbreeding b) assortative mating c) the founder effect d) the bottleneck effect 23....

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...

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...

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. In one population, the frequency of affected individuals (A 2 A 2) is 0.0004 Assuming that this population is under Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium, calculate all allele frequencies and genotype frequencies. Enter your numerical answers in the boxes below. Express each answer to four decimal places. Frequency of A1: Frequency of A2: Frequency of homozygous dominant: Frequency of homozygous recessive: Frequency of heterozygous

10. (4 points) Dwarfism is a recessive trait in New Zealand rabbits, bred for their meat. A rancher in western Australia discovers that several of the bunnies in his rabbit herd are dwarfs, and he wants to eliminate this undesirable trait from the herd as rapidly as possible. Suppose that the rancher hires you as a genetic consultant to advise him on how to breed the dwarfism trait out of the herd. What crosses would you advise the rancher to...

4. Albinism is due to a recessive, autosomal mutation. The frequency of albino squirrels is 4 x 10, while heterozygous squirrels, which are tan colored (and are lighter than wild- type squirrels), occur at frequency 0.004. Assume the population in at mutation-selection balance a. What is the frequency of the albino allele? Show work. b. If the mutation rate to new albino alleles is 10, what is the reduction of fitness of the heterozygote?
