A study on blood types in a population found the following genotypic distribution among the people sampled: 1101 were MM, 1496 were MN and 503 were NN. i) calculate the allelic genotypic frequencies. ii) using x² test, determine whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Important information from the x² distribution is given in the picture attached.

While studying the frequency of sickle-cell disease ("sickle cell anemia") in a population living in sub-Saharan Africa, you obtain the following data from a sample of n= 100 people (note that I chose a simpler system for identifying the alleles rather than using "Hb S" for sickle cell allele), which is the actual name and what you used in lab). What is the frequency of the sickle cell allele (b) in the sample below from a human population?

Consider a Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium population with an autosomal locus of 2 alleles, A1 and A2. If P(A1A2) = 8 * P(A1A1), what are the allele frequencies at the locus?
Genotypes of leopard frogs from a population in central Kansas were determined for a locus (M) that encodes the enzyme malate dehydrogenase. The following numbers of genotypes were observed: Calculate the genotypic and allelic frequencies for the population (round to the nearest thousandth). f(M1M1) = f(M1M2) = f(M2M2) = f(M1M3) = f(M2M3) = f(M3M3) = f(M1) = f(M2) = f(M3) = What would be the expected number of each genotype (round to the nearest whole number assuming genotype represents an individual) assuming the population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(M1M1) = f(M1M2) = f(M2M2) = f(M1M3) = f(M2M3) = f(M3M3) = Referencing a p-value of 0.05 and a CV of 11.070, state if the population is in HWE.

in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what do the terms p2, q2, and 2pq represent, in terms of the genetic structure of a population?
In humans, people with at least one dominant RhD allele have a Rh positive blood type. People with a homozygous recessive genotype have a Rh negative blood type. In the United States, 85% of the population is Rh positive and 15% are Rh negative. What are the values of p and q for the population in the United States (assuming that the American population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)?
The equation p2+ 2pq + q2= 1 representing theHardy-Weinberg proportions examines genes withonly two alleles in a population.a. Derive a similar equation describing the equilibrium proportions of genotypes for a gene withthree alleles. [Hint: Remember that the HardyWeinberg equation can be written as the binomialexpansion (p + q)2.]b. A single gene with three alleles (IA, IB, and i) isresponsible for the ABO blood groups. Individualswith blood type A can be either IA IAor IA i;those with blood type B can be either IB IBor IB i;people with AB blood are IA IB, and type O individuals are ii. Among Armenians, the frequency of IAis0.360, the frequency of IBis 0.104, and the frequencyof i is 0.536. Calculate the frequencies of individuals in this population with the four possible bloodtypes, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.In Problems 15–17, you will see that because matingbetween individuals within populations at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium is random, it is possible to predict…
1). The p-value for this test is . 072. Do we reject the null hypothesis?2). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in mean weight between the different NYHA groups?3). Pretend for a moment that the resulting p-value was 0.02. Do we reject the null hypothesis in this case? Why or why not? If we were to reject the null hypothesis, we would conclude that there is sufficient evidence to suggest a statistically significant difference in mean weight between the NYHA groups. The NYHA variable has four levels: would we know which of the four NYHA group means gave the statistically significant result?
