A popluation of mushrroms has two alleles for gene G that makesthem glow in the dark Homozygous dominant individuals (GG) glowvery brightly, heterozygous (Gg) individuals glow moderately andhomozygous, (gg) indivuals do not glow at all there are 500individuals in the population with the following genotypeGG=180 Gg=240 gg =80

A) determine allele frequencies(ie. p and q) for this population

b) assuming the population is inhardy weinberg equilibrium , calculate what the expected genotypefrequencies will be in the next generation

2) We are defining evolution as a "change in allele frequenciesover time". Ironically, the focus of this lab is the Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium - conditions that, if all met, will result in NOevolution occurring. Which of the following are among theconditions that must be met for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium toapply perfectly to a population?

A. The population must be very large
B. Individuals must mate at random
C. The alleles must differ in their effects on survival
D. There must be free migration into and out of thepopulation
A & B

A, B, & C

3)In cats, black fur is dominant over any allele for brown fur.If a homozygous dominant cat makes kittens with a heterozygous cat,what is the probability that the first kitten will have brown fur?Report as a proportion, not percentage, e.g., .1, NOT 10%.

4)

The EGLN1 gene helps regulate body oxygen levels. One allele His dominant over h, and helps increase fitness at high altitude(where oxygen is low). In a study of families in Tibet, researchersfound 422 HH individuals, 377 Hh, and 201 hh individuals. The studyshowed that infant mortality was lower in Hh individuals than hh,and lowest in HH individuals.
Is the Tibetan population in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium at this H/hgene?

Q1. Which of the following statements is true about the disease Kuru?
Kuru is caused by a virus, which is contracted by eating human brain material.
Kuru is caused by a prion (PrP), which is contracted by eating human brain material.
Kuru is caused by a recessive allele for PrP; if a person has two copies, he or she will develop Kuru.
Kuru is caused by a dominant allele for PrP; if a person has two copies, he or she will develop Kuru.
Kuru is caused by having one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele for PrP.

Q4. Which of the following descriptions best fits the relationship between the terms gene, allele, locus, and chromosome?

Alleles are different forms of a gene, which can be found at a locus on a chromosome.

Genes are made up of chromosomes, which can be found at a locus on an allele.

Chromosomes are different forms of a gene, which can be found at an allele on a locus.

A locus is made up of alleles, which can be found at a gene on a chromosome.

Protection from malaria.
Protection against plague.
They did not propose a heterozygotic advantage for the PrP locus.
