Chapter 21, Problem 7P
A large, random mating population is started with the following proportion of individuals for the indicated blood types:
0.5 MM
0.2 MN
0.3 NN
This blood type gene is autosomal, and the M and N alleles are codominant.
| a. | Is this population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |
| b. | What will be the allele and genotype frequencies after one generation under the conditions assumed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |
| c. | What will be the allele and genotype frequencies after two generations under the conditions assumed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |

A patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml. What is the volume of distribution of this drug? Please round to the nearest liter.
A 10 mg/Kg dose of a drug is given by intravenous injection to a 20 Kg dog. What would the volume of distribution be if the drug had been given orally and only 50% of the drug was absorbed (the concentration of drug at time = 0 is 0.1 mg/L)? Be sure to show your work.
After oral administration of 10mg of a drug, 50% is absorbed and 40% of the amount absorbed is metabolized by the first pass effect. The bioavailable dose of this drug is ______. Make sure to provide units for your answer. Show your work.
