3. In cats, the gene for fur length has two alleles, L and 1. Cats with the genotype ll have long fur, while cats with either the LL or Ll genotypes have short fur. In a population of feral (wild) cats, 16 have long fur and 68 have short fur. Assume the cat population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for this gene. a. What is the frequency of the L1 genotype in this population? Show work. b. How many cats have the heterozygous (LI) genotype?

7. In a study of a Native tribe in North America, researchers found 26 albino individuals in a population of 6000. The type of albinism found is controlled by a single gene with just two alleles, and albinism is recessive to normal skin coloration. a. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what is the frequency of the allele for albinism in this population? b. What is the frequency of carriers of the albinism allele (i.e., heterozygous) in this population, again assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
1. 9. You are a genetiCıst studying a population of 100 barn swallows. You are particularly interested in one gene, and upon examining the alleles present, you find one allele is quite common, accounting for 80 of the alleles in this population. What is the frequency of this allele in the population? 4. 5. The ability to breathe fire in dragons is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. The fire-breathing allele (F) is dominant to the non-fire breathing allele (f). In a population of 600 dragons, 150 dragons are non-fire breathing (ff) and the rest can breathe fire (either FF or Ff) The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of the dominant allele (F) is represented by "p and the frequency of the recessive allele (f) is represented by "q". Recall the allele frequency is p+ q = 1 and the Hardy-Weinburg equation is p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 (2 pts). What is the frequency of the recessive allele (f)? Hint: you can figure out the frequency of ff, which is equal to q2, but…
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.

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.

2. In humans, MN blood group is determined by a single gene with two codominant alleles, LM and LN. (This is a different blood group system from ABO).

Determine how many people there would be of each genotype if the population were in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium and use the Chi-squared test to evaluate how well observed data fit expectations.
