Question
In a randomly mating population of Drosophila, 16% of the flies have black bodies (an
autosomal, recessive trait) and 84% have brown bodies. This population is assumed
to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
6.
If a researcher samples 10 000 Drosophila from this population, the number of
flies expected to be homozygous dominant for body colour is
8 400
1600
3 600
4 800
Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is
found in a higher-than-normal frequency in a Roma population in Europe.
Researchers examined 43 people for CMS in the population and found that 13 of
them had the disorder.
11. What is the frequency of the CMS disorder in the Roma population examined by
the researchers?
Answer:
(Record your answer as a value rounded to two decimal places in the
numerical-response section on the answer sheet.)
The number of deer in a 15 080 km² area of Northern Alberta was 670 in 2008. In
2018, the number of deer in the same area was 552.
13. The per capita growth rate of deer between 2008 and 2018 was
11.8
