Question

1.) “Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease that affects the entire body. It also results in the early death of an individual. One in every 2500 children is born with this disorder.” The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in the above population is ___________. 2.) “The allele for brown eyes in human beings is dominant over that for blue eyes. Out of 50 individuals in a human population, 8 have blue eyes and 42 have brown eyes.” The value of p for the above population is _____. 3.) The allele for brown eyes in human beings is dominant over that for blue eyes. Out of 50 individuals in a human population, 8 have blue eyes and 42 have brown eyes. The frequency of the recessive allele in the above population is______. 4.) The allele for black coat colour is dominant to the allele for white coat colour in mice. In a population of 500 mice, the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (q2) is 0.25. The frequency of the dominant allele in the above population of mice is______. 5.) In pea plants, being tall is a dominant trait and being short is a recessive trait. The allele for being tall is T and the allele for being short is t.
