4. Now we know that heterozygous individuals have an advantage in malaria- prone areas. You observe that in a village in sub-Saharan Africa, the frequency of the sickle cell allele (q) is 0.17 (this number is based on actual data from Grosse et al., 2011). Assume that there are 1,000 people in this village. Based on the value of q above, calculate the observed proportion of individuals with the homozygous recessive (aa), heterozygous (2pq), and homozygous dominant (AA) genotypes. a. aa (q)-.0289 b. Aa (2pq) -- c. AA (p²) - 5. Using your answer from #4 above, calculate the observed # of individuals with each genotype: a. aa (q²) -- b. Aa (2pq) -- c. AA (p²)-

3. Frequency Calculation In a population of 80 rabbits, 20 are homozygous dominant, 40 are heterozygotes, and 20 are albino homozygous recessive. a. Provide the frequencies of each genotype and the frequencies of each allele in the gene pool. Use proper notation (for example, f(AA)). Answer: b. Why do the frequencies add up to 1? Answer:

Background information for problem #5 In humans there is a gene that controls formation of hemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells {RBC's} that is responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues of the body). The normal allele of this gene codes for normal hemoglobin. However, there is another allele for this gene that contains a mutation in the DNA and the resulting hemoglobin protein is defective. An RBC with this defective hemoglobin will, under stress, crystallize within the cell and cause a characteristic sickle shape. While the letters S and s are often used to represent these alleles, in reality neither is dominant to the other (codominant). Someone who is SS makes all normal hemoglobin, someone who is ss makes all abnormal hemoglobin (someone who has sickle-cell anemia), and someone who is Ss essentially has two sets of instructions (and so makes some of each kind of hemoglobin; often referred to as sickle-cell trait). Because the RBC's of a person who is ss contain all…
Hardy -Weinberg calculations 7. Red blood cells can possess a surface antigen called the Rhesus (Rh) factor. Rh+ (presence of the factor) is dominant over Rh- (absence). A village of population 400 was sampled and the frequency of the allele coding for Rh+ was found to be 0.356. a) Determine the number of individuals in the village who will be Rh- b) Determine the probability of being heterozygous
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). In a sample of 1000 Germans, there were 297 type MM 506 type MN 197 type NN A. Determine the frequencies of the LM allele and the LN allele in this population. B. 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.

Q5.9. A person who is heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis allele moves to a small, isolated community where no one previously carried the allele. If the cystic fibrosis allele protects against tuberculosis the same way the sickle cell allele protects against malaria, what should happen to the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele in the community over time, and why?
