Concept explainers

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

14. In class we explored how genotype frequencies can change between generations. In our experiment, we started with a population in which every individual was heterozygous for a few traits of interest. The data for the 11 offspring of these heterozygotes are 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. In a coastal city in Nigeria, the incidence of Sickle-Cell disease is 4% of the population. Based on this information, what is the frequency of this allele in the population of that city? 3. In a given human population, only the "A" and "B" alleles are present in the ABO system; there are no individuals with type "O" blood or with O alleles in this particular population. If 200 people have type A blood, 75 have type AB blood, and 25 have type B blood, what are the alleleic frequencies of this population (i.e., what are p and q)? 4.

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. Would it have made a difference if natural selection had acted on the dominant allele instead of the recessive one? Why or why not Only answer question 1 below is an information about the question. Data result of Testing Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with natural selection Chi-square of results from bean model for F1: a. Total of (obs-exp)2/exp = Chi- square value for F1 = 3.1 The resulting chi-squared value is 3.1. b. For a p-value of 0.05 and 2 degrees of freedom, the critical value is 5.99. Our value of 3.1 is smaller than the critical value (5.99), Thus, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. c.
