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 the sickle
cell allele. What percentage of the population is resistant
to malaria?
Red hair is a result of a recessive mutation at the
melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). As you learned, about 13% of
the Scottish population is red haired. If the population mates
randomly, what is the frequency of heterozygotes?
In the Ireland, 10% of the population is red
haired. Assuming mating is random, what is the frequency of
heterozygotes in Ireland?
ANS: According the question frequency of recessive allele =30%
=30/100
= 0.3
hardy Weinberg equilibrium represented in ,
p2 + 2pq +q2 = 1
p =frequency of percentage
p + q = 1
q/p = represent the frequency of dominant or recessive allele
p = 0.3
p + q =1
q = 1- p
q = 1 - 0.3
q = 0.7
according to the question , the value of
p = 0.3
q = 0.7
substitute the value in the equation
p2 +2pq +q2
.09 +2(0.3) (0.7) +0.49
here only ask about dominant traits is q, so p2 neglected
0.42 + 0.49 = 0.91
91/100 X 100 = 91%
q =0.7

BIOL400 Hardy-Weinberg Questions If the frequency of the dominant purple allele is 0.7 and the frequency of the recessive white allele is 0.3 what percent of the population will be purple? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium: if the frequency of white flowers is 4%, what are the allele frequencies for the purple and white alleles. If the frequency of the round allele is 0.5 and wrinkled allele is 0.5. What percent will be wrinkled? If the frequency of the sickle cell allele...
2. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium; chi-square test Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by a recessive mutation (S) in the b-hemoglobin gene. 80% of affected SS individuals die before reproducing. Heterozygotes (AS) and homozygous dominant (AA) individuals do not have sickle cell anemia. The table below shows the number of people of each genotype in a population of 100 people in population of Cameroon. Observed # individuals in a Cameroon population AA AS SS 62 32 6 What are the...
In a population that is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 49% of the individuals are recessive homozygotes for a certain trait. In a population of 5500, calculate the following: a) The number of homozygous recessive individuals in the population b) The number of heterozygotes in the population
Hardy-Weinberg Practice Problems: You need to list equations used and provide steps of problem solving. Providing answer itself is not enough for full grade. 1. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Calculate the frequency of the heterozygous genotype, homozygous dominant genotype and homozygous recessive genotype. 2. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 49%....
Evolution 1. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In a population of 120 cats, 35 are black. Black cats have the bb genotype. Find the allelic frequency of the dominant and recessive allele. 2. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A litter of 10 puppies has both tipped ears (a) and floppy ears (A). If 4 puppies have tipped ears in the litter. What is the frequency of the recessive allele? 3. Assume this population is in Hardy-Weinberg...
In Europe, approximately 4% of people are red-haired, mostly due to a recessive mutation in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the likelihood that a non-redheaded European is a carrier for the MC1Rr allele? (For the purpose of this problem, assume all redheads and carriers are mutant for the same MC1R allele). A Option A: 22% B Option B: 33% C Option C: 11% D Option D: 44%

In a population that meets Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium assumptions, 81% of the individuals are homozygous for the recessive allele. What percentage of the individuals would be expected to be heterozygous for this locus in the next generation?
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...
You are a population geneticist studying Gene B in a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. You sample a population to determine the genotypes at Gene B. You find that the freuency of homozygous recessive genotypes (bb) is 0.10. What would be the frequency of the dominant allele (B) in this population? A. 0.84 B. 0.4 C. 0.36 D. 0.6 E. 0.48
