5. Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a recessive allele. The frequency of this allele is 0.1 in a population of 3600 people. What is the frequency of the dominant allele, and how many of the 3600 people will be heterozygous for the condition? 6. In a population the homozygous dominant individuals made up 70% of the population, while heterozygous ones made up 21%, and recessive made up 9%. What are the frequencies of the A and a alleles? 7. In a population of 3000 fruit flies, 270 of them contain white eyes. White eye color is a recessive trait. What are the allelic frequencies for the red eye allele and white eye allele? What percent of the population will be heterozygous red? VWhat would be the number of red eyed flies?
