Chapter 21.2, Problem 3CC

WHAT IF? A locus that affects susceptibility to a degenerative brain disease has two alleles, V and v. In a population, 16 people have genotype VV, 92 have genotype Vv, and 12 have genotype vv. Is this population evolving? Explain.

Phenotype to Population 1. Describe how the phenotype of individuals with sickle-cell disease influences how common the Hbs allele is in the population: Do individuals with sickle cell disease typically have many offspring? What effect does the fact that individuals with sickle-cell disease do not produce many offspring have on the frequency of the Hbs allele in the population over time? Given this, do you expect the Hbs allele to be common or rare in populations?

Hardy -Weinberg calculations 7. Red blood cells can possess a surface antigen called the Rhesus (Rh) factor. Rh+ (presence of the factor) is dominant over Rh- (absence). A village of population 400 was sampled and the frequency of the allele coding for Rh+ was found to be 0.356. a) Determine the number of individuals in the village who will be Rh- b) Determine the probability of being heterozygous

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium In 1975, in a population of 88 garter snakes on the coast of Oregon, 54 of them exhibit the recessive genotype are therefore not immune to the rough-skinned newt’s toxin. What is the frequency for the recessive genotype (q^2)?
