12. Scale coloration of lizards has a complete dominance relationship where green scales are dominant over blue scales. There are 1,024 individuals with the genotype GG, 512 individuals with the genotype Gg, and 64 individuals with the genotype gg. a. Find: the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles and the frequency of individuals with dominant, heterozygous, and recessive genotype. b. The next generation of lizards has 1,092 individuals with green scales and 108 individuals with blue scales. Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Solve for p and q.

I need help understanding how to calculate using the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. Please see the attached. Thank you!
O 0.4 x 0.6. You are a biologist interested in the variation in the body size of Florida sea turtles. You know that body size is determined by a single locus with two alleles, with large body size (A) dominant over small body size (a). You survey the body size of 100 turtles and observed the following phenotype frequencies: Large bodied turtles (AA and Aa) = 84 Small bodied turtles (aa) = 16 If the population is in HWE, how many turtles of each genotype would you expect? O AA = 84, Aa = 0, and aa = 16 O AA = 36, Aa = 48, and aa = 16 AA = 42, Aa = 42, and aa = 16 AA = 24, Aa 60, and aa = 16 O AA = 16, Aa = 68, and aa 16

(1 point) Humans with the genotypes DD and Dd show the Rh+ blood phenotype, whereas those with the genotype dd show the Rh- blood phenotype. In a sample of 400 Basques from Spain, 230 people were Rh+ and 170 people were Rh-. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg proportions, what is the allele frequency of the allele D? (a) (a) 0.348 (answer) (b) (b) 0.652 (c) (c) 0.425 (d) (d) 0.575 (e) (e) 0.288 2. (2 points) In the Basque population mentioned above, what proportion of the Rh+ individuals would be expected to be heterozygote? (a) (a) 0.454 (b) (b) 0.789 (answer) (c) (c) 0.516 (d) (d) 0.250 (e) (e) 0.500 How is the answer for #2, b? please explain
There is a lack of dominance in black (B) and white (W) horse coat colours. An offspring produced from a black horse and a white horse has a blue-roan coat colour (BW). When the blue-roan coat is closely examined, both black and white hair can be found. 20. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 10 out of every 150 foals have a white coat. Calculate the frequency of the black horse coat allele in the population. Show all work. Express your answer using two significant digits:
96% of Florida panther population has normal tails. 4% of the Florida panther population has the crook in the tail. Crooked tails are recessive. Find the dominant allele frequency and the recessive allele frequency. Construct a Punnett Square that would illustrate the phenotypic outcome of the a parent who is homozygous for a normal tail and homozygous for a crooked tail.  Include a Punnett square illustrating the cross.  Include a “key” or “legend” describing the pattern of inheritance for the trait, the genotypes of the parents, and the phenotypic percentages of the outcome of the cross.
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?

What are the phenotypic frequencies for tongue rollers? 0.84 2. What are the phenotypic frequencies for non-tongue rollers? 0.16 3. What is the allelic frequency for r? 0.4 4. What is the allelic frequency for R? 0.6 5. What is the homozygous dominant frequency? 6. What is the heterozygous frequency? 7. What is the homozygous recessive frequency?
