Summary Introduction

To determine: The Hardy-Weinberg equation (relation between alleles and genotype frequencies) for gene that exists in three alleles designated by A1, A2, and A3 in population in which A1, A2, and A3 is represented by p, q, and r respectively.

Introduction: The Hardy-Weinberg equation represents a mathematical model in which a single gene exists in two different forms of alleles represented by p and q. This equation is derived from the fact that at the time of fertilization, alleles combine randomly when diploid offspring are produced.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype frequencies of A2A2 homozygotes and A2A3 heterozygotes.

Activity 4 Identification of phenotype of known genotype The characteristic of the color of the red tomato fruit (R) is dominant over the characteristic of the yellow color (r) The characteristic of the color of white flowers (W) is dominant over the characteristic of the color of the yellow flowers (w), and the characteristic length of the stem of the plant (T) is dominant over the short characteristic (t) If a red fruit plant with yellow and long-stemmed flowers is crossed, with anotheryellow, white-flowered and short-stemmed plant, knowing that the dominant characteristic is pure. What is the phenotype of individuals of the resulting generation?
PROBLEM SET #4: Assume that pattern baldness is a sex-linked, recessive trail. In a population of 100 humans, 6 males were bald. Given this... can you calculate: What are the frequencies of the normal P allele and the baldness p allele? What is the expected frequency of bald-females? What is the expected frequency of heterozygous carriers? What gender would these carriers be? DELL Ce %23 %24 & 4 8. t y f h j k C V m ba
EXERCISE 6 HARDY-WEINBERG EQUILIBRIUM Work in a small group or alone to complete this exercise. In human population X, consider the simple Mendelian trait for freckles. F is the dominant allele and f'is the recessive allele. Individuals who are homozygous dominant (FF) or heterozygous (F) for the trait express freckles. Individuals who are homozygous recessive (ff) for the trait do not express freckles. In this population, 30% (0.3) of the alleles are recessive (f ) and 70% (0.7) are dominant (F). 1. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the genotype frequencies we should expect in the next generation. Be sure to show your work. 2. You have collected data on the observed genotype frequencies of the next generation. They are 60% FF, 30% Ff, and 10% ff. Based on these observations and your expectations, is this trait currently evolving in this population? Why or why not?
