In hamsters, there is a dominant allele (S) for smooth fur and a recessive allele (s) for spiky fur. A unique characteristic of these alleles is that the heterozygote (Ss) has its own phenotype - rough fur. In this way, we can determind the number of heterozygotes in the population. In a population of 1000 hamsters, 390 have smooth fur (SS), 470 have rough fur (Ss) and 140 have spiky fur (ss). Question: The expected number of smooth fur hamsters (SS) in the next generation of 1000 hamsters is: Question 3 options: 0.390 470 625 390

Average human height has changed over the past few centuries. The current generation's average height is 168 centimeters (i.e. 5 foot 10 in). The selection coefficient for height is ß = 0.08, phenotypic variation is Vp = 1.5, and heritability is h² = 0.45. = a. What is the response to selection (R) for height? b. What is the average height expected to be for the next generation? c. Would you say this is strong or weak selection?
A. Population 1 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; the frequency of allele A is 0.5. B. Two of the populations are not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected (projected) frequency of heterozygous cats in the next generation? Question 4 options: 0.68 0.89 0.435 0.84
Suppose in a certain population there are 100 individuals homozygous for the A1 allele, 400 individuals homozygous for the A2 allele, and 500 heterozygous individuals. What are the genotype frequencies? What are the allele frequencies?
In horses, tobiano is a white spotting pattern. The tobiano allele (T) is dominant over the non-tobiano (t) allele. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 325 horses out of 500 are non-tobiano. a. Calculate the number of homozygous dominant tobiano horses. Answer b. Calculate the number of heterozygous horses. Answer c. Calculate the number of tobiano horses in the population. Answer Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.
In some breeds of dogs, a recessive allele (a) codes for color dilution alopecia, a conditionin which the hair color appears blue or gray due to an uneven distribution ofmelanin in hair follicles. The dominant allele A codes for undiluted hair color (black).In one population of dogs in the southeastern U.S., the frequency of the A allele wasdetermined to be 0.71, with the frequency of the a allele being 0.29. Calculate the frequency of the aa genotype in the next generation.
