For the following population determine if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Round to two decimal places. AA: 15 Aa: 22 aa: 63 What are the genotype frequencies? What are the allele frequencies? What are expected/predicted genotype frequencies?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans:

The calculated genotypic frequencies are -

AA = 0.07

Aa = 0.38

aa = 0.55

The allelic frequencies of A and a are 0.26 and 0.74 respectively.

The expected/ predicted genotypes are-

AA = 7

Aa = 38

aa = 55

The calculated chi-square value 17.04 is higher than the table value 3.84 at 1 DF (5% probability level). This significant deviation between observed and expected value signifies that the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

All the calculation is given below-

BIOL 1010 Hardy-Weinberg practice problems The Hardy-Weinberg principle allows us to determine whether evolution has occurred. The principle essentially states that if no evolution is occurring, then an equilibrium of allele frequencies will remain in effect in each succeeding generation of sexually reproducing individuals. In order for equilibrium to hold (no evolution is occurring), the following five conditions must be met: 1.No mutations must occur (so that new alleles do not enter the population). 2.No gene flow can occur (no...
