The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is controlled by the dominant allele T. Individuals who have the allele T find that PTC tastes bitter. Homozygous recessive individuals find that PTC has no taste. In a sample of 320 people, 218 could taste PTC and 102 could not taste PTC. 15.

Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes.

The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele t are unable to taste this compound. In a genetics class of 125 students, 88 were able to taste PTC, 37 could not. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and the frequency of the genotypes (TT, Tt, and tt). Everyone in the class determined whether or not they could taste PTC. a. Number of tasters % tasters (TT+Tt) b. Number of nontasters % nontasters (tt) c. q2 = genotype tt = d. q = frequency of t allele = e. p= 1-q = frequency of T allele = f. p2 = genotype TT = g. 2pq = genotype Tt = %3D
The ability to taste the chemical compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is coded for by a single gene with two alleles. Let T stand for the allele that codes for tasting and t for the allele that codes for non-tasting. This allele exhibits complete dominance, such that heterozygotes can also taste PTC. Suppose that out of a population of 100 students, 70 are tasters. Estimate the allele frequencies and the frequencies of TT, Tt and tt genotypes in the population. Show all your work, and clearly state your logic and any assumptions you make in estimating the frequencies
The ability to taste PTC (Phenylthiocarbamide) is inherited by a single pair of genes and tasting (T) is dominant to non-tasting (t). Among 798 people tested, 60.4% were tasters. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the expected allelic frequencies of T and t. How many people tested are expected to have the genotypes TT, Tt, and t? Allele frequency of T Allele frequency of t # of people with genotype TT # of people with genotype Tt # of people with genotype tt
Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. A population of 30,012 geese includes 9236 dark individuals. Genetic testing reveals that 7636 of the 9236 dark individuals are heterozygous (Dd). What is the actual frequency of allele d?

Given the following observed genotype frequencies (AA 0.45, Aa 0.16 and aa 0.39) for a gene that determines coat color with incomplete dominance in a population of lemmings. Allele "A" results in a dark colored coat. Allele "a" results in a light colored coat. What percent of the population would possess a dark coat as their phenotype?
Orange coat color in cats is due to an X-linked allele (XO) that iscodominant with the allele for black (X+). When genotypes at the orangelocus were determined for a sample of cats in Minneapolis and St. Paul,Minnesota, the following data were obtained:XOXO females 11XOX+ females 70X+X+ females 94XOY males 36X+Y males 112Calculate the frequencies of the XO and X+ alleles for this population.
You have cultivated a people-friendly garden of Toxicodendron radicans. The 7 water you used on these plants emanates from the discharge of a leaky, local, nuclear, power plant. Upon studying these plants, you learn that 16% of them can cause death within 2 min of exposure. This killing ability happens to be a recessive trait. Assume the dominant allele confers complete dominance. Find the following: % that do not have this ability Frequency of the recessive allele
