Q 1) Suppose a researcher collects seeds and pollen (i.e.gametes) from a certain kind of plant. If 231 gametes areAB, 99 are Ab, 154 areaB and 66 are ab, what is thefrequency of the A andb alleles(to 1 decimal place)?

Question 1 options:

1)

f(A) = 0.5 and f(b) = 0.5

2)

f(A) = 0.6 and f(b) = 0.3

3)

f(A) = 0.5 and f(b) = 0.3

4)

f(A) = 0.6 and f(b) = 0.2

Q2)

A researcher has calculated gametic frequencies for anexperiment studying two loci and is quite confused by the results.Can you help the researcher by determining the coefficient oflinkage disequilibrium from their data (to 2 decimal places)?
The data that they have are:
f(CE) = 0.5872
f(Ce) = 0.1728
f(cE) = 0.1328
f(ce) = 0.1072

Question 2 options:

1)

d = 0.02

2)

d = 0.0

3)

d = 0.04

4)

d = -0.02

5)

d = -0.04
