In a population of 100 individuals, the number of homozygousrecessives is 4. Letâs assume that you can distinguish theheterozygotes from the homozygous dominants. There are 80heterozygotes, and 16 homozygous dominants.
b. What is the frequency of each allele?
c. What would you estimate the allele & genotype frequencies tobe if you only knew that there were 4 homozygous recessives out of100 individuals, and you knew nothing else about the populationâsstructure?
Thanks!

6. Red-footed boobies vary in plumage color. For simplicity, letâs pretend that there are two forms. Brown birds have darker plumage because they are genotypically either MM or Mm. White birds have light plumage because they carry the genotype mm.

You go out to Genovesa Island with a pair of binoculars and you count the number of melanic and white boobies out of the first 1000 birds you see. You count 490 white boobies and 510 melanic boobies.

a. Assuming HWE, what is the frequency of the M allele of the plumage color gene?

Next, you collect feathers from 500 birds. You extract DNA from the feathers and determine the genotype of the birds at the plumage gene. You genotype 245 white birds and you find that they are all homozygous for the m allele. You genotype 255 brown birds and find that 190 of them are homozygous for the M allele and 65 are heterozygous (Mm).

b. Given this genotype data, what is the frequency of the M allele?

c. Given the what you know about expected and observed genotype frequencies in this group, do you expect that the null hypothesis of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium holds true? If not, what evolutionary phenomenon might explain this discrepancy?

1) Which of these probabilities are NOT independent of eachother?

The probability that a student is a sophomore and has brownhair

The probability that when you roll two dice, you will roll a 6before a 2

The probability that it will rain and the probability ofneeding an umbrella

The probability that there will be heavy traffic on BaltimoreAve and the probability you will lose your cell phone

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%.

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?

What is the most important factor affecting the strength ofgenetic drift?
