Consider a population of 200 individuals. For a trait expressing simple dominance, genotype frequencies are WW = 0.1, Ww= 0.7, ww = 0.2. What are the allele frequencies of the W and w alleles in this population (where p is the frequency of the dominant allele). p = 110, q = 90 p = 20, q = 80 p = 0.45, q = 0.55 p = 0.55, q = 0.45 p = 0.2, q = 0.8 p = 90, q = 110
Please refer to the Chi squared step by step document for an example to follow. 4a. A large random sample taken from a natural population of flowering plants found 300 plants with red flowers (RR genotype), 150 with pink flowers (Rr genotype) and 38 white flowers (rr genotype). Is the population in HWE? Step 1 Calculate the frequencies of alleles R and r. Include the formula for calculating allele frequencies in a population. Ans: Step 2 Based on the allele frequencies how many individuals are expected to a certain genotype? Calculate by multiplying the number of individuals in population (n) x frequencies of alleles for that genotype: Ans: T Step 3 Fill in the Table Below Genotype Ans: RR Rr rr Observed Expected Obs - Exp Step 3 Use the following formula to calculate the Chi squared value., Note calculate for each genotype and get the sum. (Obs - Exp)² Exp ³x²³ = [ (O - E)² E Step 4 Determine the Chi Square value for 1 Degree of Freedom and for the probability 0.05 from the table…
An autosomal locus has alleles A and a.  The allele frequencies in a population at Hardy Weinberg equilibrium are p = Freq(A) = 0.1 q = Freq(a) = 0.9 What is frequency of heterozygotes in this population? Enter a single number between 0 and 1, for example 0.33
