A single gene in horses determines coat (hide) color. Palomino (‘dove’) horses are heterozygous (Aa), while homozygous recessive (aa) are cremello, and homozygous dominant (AA) are chestnut. A horse rancher buys 80 palomino horses and 20 cremello horses and lets them breed free.

(a) What are frequencies of alleles and genotypes in THIS (parent) generation? Are all genotypes represented? Show your calculations. Is the population at this moment (i.e. in THIS generation) in Hardy-Weinberg balance or not? Explain.

(b) What would be frequencies of alleles and genotypes in NEXT (children) generation if one assumes Hardy-Weinberg balance? (no selection, new mutation, migration, etc.) Show your calculations.

(c) Now assume (for the purpose of the problem) that Hardy-Weinberg balance is violated by selection against cremello horses (which leave less offspring). Relative fitness of both chestnut and palomino is WAA = WAa = 1.0, but relative fitness of cremello, Waa = 0.8 (which means that selection coefficient s= - 0.2). What are frequencies of alleles and genotypes in NEXT generation?

The mathematical equation for heritability is H²= V_G / V_P. ( or H² = V_G / (V_G + V_E). Explain the meaning of the heritability of a trait in a population. Explain the conditions that exist in a population when H² = 0. Explain the conditions that exist in a population when    H² = 1. For most traits in real populations is heritability usually at either of these extremes? Explain

Describe the multiple ways in which the sex of an organism can be determined, including types of hermaphroditism.

25 year old person with complaints like chest pain. She is also experiencing fever, congestion. She is having bad cough and she produces a discolored sputum.sometimes she had this signs and symptoms since last week, after she returned Unites sates(home) from her trip to asia. She mentioned that, she did an emergency appendectomy to remove her appendix while she was in Asia. But she stayed in hospital for only few days. the surgical wound all looks fine.•seems like she's having pneumonia ((maybe it's good idea to take a culture to send to the lab for bacterial identification)only answer the question if you have all the answers for the case stufy form below.
