You are studying a population of birds where bird song is controlled by one codominantautosomal gene. In the population you are studying, 38 birds chirp (BCBC), 66 birds flute(BFBF), and 66 birds warble (BCBF). Use a chi-square test to evaluate whether this bird songgene is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium in this population. Report an answer for each of thefollowing blanks. Round answers only (not earlier steps) and round to the nearest 0.01.Fill in the blank for the following:•.Expected number of chirping birdsExpected number of fluting birds•Expected number of warbling birds•Degrees of freedom• Chi-square critical value•Accept or reject the null hypothesis? Type "accept" or "reject"• Is this gene in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Type “yes” or “no”

Approach to solving the question: To make a decision on whether to accept or reject the null…

Two different house Flys were crossbreed for 2 generations. The female was a wild fly and the male was a mutant with apterous wings and a black body. Given the data of the second generation: is this data consistent with the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio expected of a dihybrid cross?
You discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae. You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), meaning that heterozygotes have antennae that are intermediate in length. In your laboratory population, 9% of the males have long antennae. Assuming your population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of females would you expect to have intermediate antennae? Answer choices: 0.50 0.90 0.83 0.0081 0.16
In a lab population of mice, a locus affecting fur color has 2 alleles. The B allele produces brown fur, while the b allele produces white fur. Heterozygote individuals (Bb) have beige fur. In a sample of 150 mice, 48 mice have white fur, and 13 have beige fur. What is the frequency of the B allele? Answer with two decimals precision (0.00).
In a gorilla population in Zaire we consider a single gene locus with two alleles G and g, with G dominant to g. The frequency of the allele g is 0.01. Assuming Hardy- Weinberg proportions, the frequency of the genotype Gg is:
Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant. Researchers using genetic testing are able to determine the following numbers of individuals of each genotype in another population of geese: DD = 10576, Dd = 14503, dd = 4922. -According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected number of individuals of genotype DD? -Calculate the chi-square statistic from these data. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?
In a population of cats, 12 cm^2 is the additive genetic variance for lenght of tail and 16 cm^2 is the total phenotypic variance. Based on these answer the followinng ques: Find the narrow sense heritability for this length of tail in the population of cats. What would be the covariance of two cats who are related to one another as being first cousins?
in a randomly mating laboratory population of Drosophila, 4% of the flies have black bodies, and 96% have brown bodies. Flies with brown bodies always have at least one parent with a brown body. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population? 0.04 0.16 0.08 0.32 The period gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes for a stretch of Thr-Gly repeated in tandem. In natural populations, the three most common alleles encode for 17, 20 and 23 Thr-Gly repeats. The amplification by PCR of the allele encoding for 20 Thr-Gly repeats produces a fragment of 320 bp. Using the same set of primers, what is the size expected when amplifying the 17 Thr-Gly allele? 317 303 314 302 in a certain species of plant loci A, B and C have an additive effect on the colour of the flower. Alleles A, B, and C are dominant and alleles a, b and c are recessive. Knowing that a plant with genotype AAbbCc has a…
