This figure refers to allele frequencies (for two alleles A1 and A2 at a single locus) in a small population with random mating, no selection. The figure on the left shows the frequency of allele A1 across generations. Each line is a replicate of the population, starting with the same initial condition (A1 frequency = 50 %). Based on the figure, which of the following are true? In the population shown by the red line, allele A1 is eventually lost. Due to genetic drift, allele A1 will eventually be lost from all populations. Due to genetic drift, allele A1 goes to fixation in some populations and is lost in others. In the population shown by the red line, allele A1 goes to fixation.

The hsr-omega gene is induced by heat stress and is part of the conserved heat-shock response system of Drosophila melanogaster Previous studies found two alleles, har-omeg and hsr-omeg, in the population. A more extensive survey of several D. melanogaster populations along Australian eastern seaboard yielded a result shown below. Which of the following statements is correct?

O 0.4 x 0.6. You are a biologist interested in the variation in the body size of Florida sea turtles. You know that body size is determined by a single locus with two alleles, with large body size (A) dominant over small body size (a). You survey the body size of 100 turtles and observed the following phenotype frequencies: Large bodied turtles (AA and Aa) = 84 Small bodied turtles (aa) = 16 If the population is in HWE, how many turtles of each genotype would you expect? O AA = 84, Aa = 0, and aa = 16 O AA = 36, Aa = 48, and aa = 16 AA = 42, Aa = 42, and aa = 16 AA = 24, Aa 60, and aa = 16 O AA = 16, Aa = 68, and aa 16

# 3 e A = all of the dominant alleles for a particular trait in a specific population; a = all of the recessive alleles for a particular trait in a specific population In the following equations "A" is represented by "p"; "a" is represented by "q" Hardy Weinberg equations: Allele distributions in Generation 1: 36 homozygous dominant individuals 13 heterozygous individuals 1 homozygous recessive individual There are 50 individuals in this particular population. We want to see if allele distributions change from generation to generation. We will use the Hardy Weinberg equations to find out. p+q=1.0 (100% of the alleles for this trait in the population) Explanation of terminology: px p=p² 2 xpxq=2pq qxq=q² p² + 2pq+q² = 1.0 (Don't panic! You can do this!) Due to migration and random mating of the parent generation, the percentage of homozygous recessive genotypes in Generation 2 offspring increases, changing "a" to 40%, so a = .40 If "a" = .40, and "a"=q, then q = Remember that p+q=1.0 If…

P = 5040 GMA = 0.2734 or 27.34% 144 Binomial expansion problem: The disease cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease governed by a single gene. Only individual's homozygous recessive is affected, whereas heterozygous individuals are unaffected carriers. The disease causes difficulty breathing due to the buildup of mucous in the lungs. Suppose two heterozygous parents have five offspring. What is the probability that two of the five offspring will be affected with the disease? To solve this problem if will be helpful to first create a Punnett Square depicting the possible genotypes of the offspring. Remember Mendel's Law of Segregation when constructing the Square and that both parents are heterozygous carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele.

3.13 In Drosophila, the mutant allele bwdts causing brown eyes (normal eyes are red) is temperature sensitive. In flies reared at 29°C the mutant allele is dominant, but in flies reared at 22°C the mutant allele is recessive. In a cross of bwdts/+ X bwdts/+, where the + sign denotes the wild-type allele of bwdts, what is the expected ratio of brown-eyed flies to red-eyed flies if the progeny are reared at 29°C? At 22°C?
The equation p2+ 2pq + q2= 1 representing theHardy-Weinberg proportions examines genes withonly two alleles in a population.a. Derive a similar equation describing the equilibrium proportions of genotypes for a gene withthree alleles. [Hint: Remember that the HardyWeinberg equation can be written as the binomialexpansion (p + q)2.]b. A single gene with three alleles (IA, IB, and i) isresponsible for the ABO blood groups. Individualswith blood type A can be either IA IAor IA i;those with blood type B can be either IB IBor IB i;people with AB blood are IA IB, and type O individuals are ii. Among Armenians, the frequency of IAis0.360, the frequency of IBis 0.104, and the frequencyof i is 0.536. Calculate the frequencies of individuals in this population with the four possible bloodtypes, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.In Problems 15–17, you will see that because matingbetween individuals within populations at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium is random, it is possible to predict…
