Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion An allele O, for orange hair, is dominant over the allele o, for green hair. In a sample of 800 CARDI B fans, 789 have orange hair and 11 have green hair. Calculate the genotypic frequencies within this population, assuming that the population is in H-W equilibrium. (For this problem, use 4 decimal places.)

This is a classic data set on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Coloration in this species had been previously shown to behave asa single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance. Data for 1612 individuals are given below: White-spotted (AA) =1469 Intermediate (Aa) = 138 Little spotting (aa) =5 Calculate the allele frequencies (p and q )
In a population of 1000 individuals, 180 have kinky hair, 360 have wavy hairy, and the rest have straight hair. Let us assume that hair type is governed by a pair of alleles, and there are two types of alleles, S (kinky) and s (straight), with the heterozygote condition being wavy. Compute for the allelic frequencies for hair type in the population.
A population of 40 asters segregating at two loci with two alleles each (A/T and G/C) has 8 individuals with the AAGGgenotype. The allele frequencies of A and G are 0.5 and 0.5 in the population. What is the coefficient of gametic disequilibrium, D? What is the value of Lewontin’s D’? (that is “D prime”)
Consider a Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium population with an autosomal locus of 2 alleles, A1 and A2. If P(A1A2) = 8 * P(A1A1), what are the allele frequencies at the locus?
In a gorilla population in Zaire we consider a single gene locus with two alleles G and g, with G dominant to g. The frequency of the allele g is 0.01. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg proportions, the frequency of the genotype Gg is:
Pretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. So your hypothesis is that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out a chisquare goodness of fit test and calculate a total chisquare value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean? (select all true statements)a) The data do NOT fit the hypothesized distribution.b) The data do fit the hypothesized distribution well enough, so we accept the hypothesis at this time (i.e. we cannot reject the hypothesis). c) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too small, so we reject the hypothesis.d) The probability that the data came from a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is too big, so we reject the hypothesis.e) The data support Hardy-Weinberg expectations – there is no…

In a large, randomly mating human population, the frequencies of the IA, IB, and i alleles are 0.7, 0.2, and 0.1, respectively. Calculate the expected frequencies for each blood type. (show solution)
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion In a class of 13 students, 2 had type A blood, 4 had type B, I had type AB, and 6 had type O. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the frequencies of the three alleles (IA, IB , i )
A total of 1000 members of a Central American population are typed for the ABO blood group. In the sample, 421 have blood type A, 168 have blood type B, 336 have blood type O, and 75 have blood type AB. Part A Use this information to determine the frequency of ABO blood group alleles in the sample. Recall that when considering genes with three alleles whose frequencies are represented by the variables p, q, and r, the sum of genotype frequencies resulting from trinomial expansion is: (p+q+r)² =p² + 2pq+q2+2pr+r²+2gr = 1
Pretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. So you hypothesize that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations). If you carry out chi-square goodness of fit test and calculate a total chi-square value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean?
Allele frequencies in Hardy-Weinberg Principle are equal. True or False.
