  1. The frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 0.19 (A) and 0.81(a). Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

(a) Calculate the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population.

(b) Calculate the percentage of homozygous recessives in the population.

  1. An allele W, for white wool, is dominant over allele w, for black wool. In a sample of 900 sheep, 891 are white and 9 are black. Calculate the allelic frequencies within this population, assuming that the population is in H-W equilibrium.
  1. In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the recessive homozygote genotype of a certain trait is 0.09. Calculate the percentage of individuals homozygous for the dominant allele.

Why is it that lethal recessive alleles remain in the human gene pool, rather than just disappearing because of their unfavorable phenotype for homozygous recessives? Scenario: A sudden flood of a large area around the Mississippi River occurs. In some local populations of a species of insects, there is greater buoyancy and survival of some individuals due to having the double recessive genotype of a gene that allowed them to accumulate more lipids to float. A year after the flood,...

1. Assume alleles of the height gene of corn plants determine the height of the plant's stalks, and that there are two alleles of the gene: "H1" and "H2." Individuals that are homozygous for the "H1" allele are 10 feet in height, individuals that are homozygous for the "H2" allele are 6 feet in height, and heterozygotes for these two alleles are 6 feet in height. From this data, it can be concluded that, with respect to the "H1" allele,...
