a) A population of horses has an allele frequency of F(A)=0.08 and F(a)=0.2. The relative fitness of the population is 0.616.

a) A population of horses has an allele frequency of F(A)=0.08 and F(a)=0.2. The relative fitness of the population is 0.616. If sAA=0.4 sAa=0.4 saa=0. what is the expected allele frequency of aa homozygote in next generation? b) A zoologist is studying a new species that finds the allele frequency is F(F)=0.58 and F(f)=0.42 if w11=w12=.78 and w22=1 what is Deltap?

Allele frequency is the relative frequency of a certain allele type among a certain population. Suppose that within a certain area, the allele frequency of A, B and O are 0.2, 0.1, and 0.7, respectively. Suppose that when randomly picking up a person, the first allele type is independent of the second allele type regardless of the type. Calculate the following probabilities: • The probability for this person to have type O blood. • The probability for this person to...

In a population of mealybugs the dominant allele (G) frequency for an allele controlling fluffiness is...

In a population of mealybugs the dominant allele (G) frequency for an allele controlling fluffiness is 0.75. Selection is acting upon this locus such that the fitness values are gg=0.4, Gg=1, and GG=0.027. Simulate selection in the population by calculating gentoype frequencies following selection, and calculating allele frequencies from those genotype frequencies. a. State which genotype is being favored by selection. b. Give the normalized/corrected genotype frequency for gg following selection. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth (e.g., 0.123)...

a. Consider a population in which the frequency of allele B is p=0.7, and the frequency of the allele b is q=0.3. If W BB= 1, W Bb= 0.9, and W bb= 0.8, what will be the frequency of B after one generation? b. If the allele frequency for a dominant allele is 0.84, what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele?

an isolated population of cats are observed for their frequency in an allele for striped and spotted coloring as well as the actual level of heterozygosity in each population. Allele frequency for stripes is 0.62 and spots 0.38, The observed frequency of heterozygotes is 0.08 What is the inbreeding coefficient of this population? is the population undergoing inbreeding based off of the inbreeding coefficient.

The allele b occurs with a frequency of 0.6 in a population of clams. Assuming that the population has reached Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the genotype Bb is

For a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of heterozygotes if p = 0.8?

Calculation of Allele frequency

The ability of certain people to taste a chemical PTC is governed by a dominant allele T, and the inability to taste PTC by its recessive allelic t. If 24% of a population is homoxygous taster and 40% is heterozygous taster, what is the frequency of t?

The allele frequency for the spider syndrome allele in a flock of sheep is 0.41. The normal allele N is dominant to the n allele, and homozygous nn lambs do not survive to reproduce. In the flock, all NN and Nn animals are retained, and all nn animals are removed from the herd. Determine the allele and genotypic frequencies in the flock following a single generation of selection.
