7. In a population of 4 o'clock plants, red flowered (RR) plants are more fit than pink flowered (Rr) plants or white flowered (rr) plants. For every 10 red flowered plants that reproduce, 4 Rr and 3 rr plants do. The beginning allele frequencies are R = 0.7 and r=0.3. A. What are the genotypic frequencies after 1 generation of selection? B. What are the new allelic frequencies? C. What is the new mean fitness?

1. Widow's peak allele (W) is dominant to straight hair line (allele w). In a population of 1000, there are 760 persons with widow's peak. a. What is the frequency of genotype WW? b. What is the frequency of the heterozygotes?
1. The ability to taste the compound PTC is controlled by a dominant allele T, while individuals homozygous for the recessive allele (t) cannot taste PTC. In a population consisting of 500 individuals, 347 are tasters and 153 are non-PTC tasters. Calculate the frequency of the T and t alleles in this population, and frequency of the genotypes.(Please train yourself to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation.)To present your answers, follow the format in the picture below.
1. Certain flowers are either red (dominant) or white (rr). 91% of the flowers are red. Using the equations, calculate the frequency of the R allele. First you replace R and r for p and q. Thus we know that q2 = .09, because only the homozygous recessives will be white. *changed away from percentages to work the math more easily* What is the frequency of the R allele in this population? 2.

6. In a population of mice, coat color is controlled by a single additive locus. BB mice are black, bb mice are white, and Bb mice are grey. The population is currently in HWE, with 1% of the mice having the white phenotype. Grey mice have twice as many offspring as black or white mice. What will be the frequency of the b allele in the next generation? The answer is supposed to be 0.16, can you explain how to get to this?
1. Consider a locus having two alleles A1 and A2, If the homozygote A1A1 and the heterozygote A¡A2 have the same fitness of 1, and the homozygote A2A2 has a fitness s+1, then phenomenon is called complete dominance. What will be the change in the frequency of allele A2 per generation ?
1. In a population of 1000 bison, there are two alleles at the B locus. It acts incompletely dominantly, so that you are able to figure out each animal's genotype simply by observing its phenotype. How convenient. You find 665 BB, 225 Bb, and 110 bb bison. a) What are the allele frequencies of B and b? (round off the number) b) Using the allele frequencies, what numbers (not just fractions, but numbers of actual bison in this population of 1000 and yes you can round off) would you expect to be BB, Bb, and bb? c) Do you think this bison population is in HW equilibrium? d) No matter what your answer to c, if they weren't in HW equilibrium, name 5 possible reasons why.
3. Frequency Calculation In a population of 80 rabbits, 20 are homozygous dominant, 40 are heterozygotes, and 20 are albino homozygous recessive. a. Provide the frequencies of each genotype and the frequencies of each allele in the gene pool. Use proper notation (for example, f(AA)). Answer: b. Why do the frequencies add up to 1? Answer:

1.) Consider flower color in a hypothetical population of 7,000 flowers, red flowers (4,000), blueflowers (2,000) are dominant over pink flowers. If there are 1,000 pink flowers, find thefollowing:a. Frequency of dominant (red flower) alleleb. Frequency of recessive (pink flower) allelec. Frequency of each genotype (homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive,heterozygous)d. Make a Punnett square and use the rule of multiplication.
26. Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. A population of 30,012 geese includes 9236 dark individuals. Genetic testing reveals that 7636 of the 9236 dark individuals are heterozygous (Dd). What is the actual frequency of allele D? 0.819 0.181 0.435 0.347

1.)The frequency of the R allele for round seeds in a certain population of 500 peas wasfound to be 0.45. How many of them were wrinkled? How many of them had the rr genotype? How many of them were round? 2.)In humans, a dominant allele controls the formation of a cleft chin, a Y-shaped fissurein the chin caused by an atypical bone formation in the mandible (this phenotypeis also known as a chin dimple). A survey of 1200 college students found that108 of them did not have a cleft chin. What was the frequency of heterozygotes inthat student population?
