Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 4IQ
Practice using the Hardy-Weinberg equation so that you can easily determine genotype frequencies from allele frequencies, and vice versa.
- a. The allele frequencies in a population are A = 0.6 and a = 0.4. Predict the genotype frequencies for the next generation.
AA ____ Aa ____ aa ____
- b. What would the allele frequencies be for the generation you predicted in part a?
A ____ a ____
- c. Suppose you are able to determine the actual genotype frequencies in the population and find that these frequencies differ significantly from what you predicted in part a. What would such results indicate?

You are surveying population genetics of snails while studying abroad in New Zealand. At your locus of interest, you have AA: 32 Aa:46 aa: 22. Identify the statement that accurately describes this population.
a.
The genotype frequency of AA is 0.77.
b.
The frequency of the A allele is 0.45.
c.
The genotype frequency of the heterozygotes is 0.45.
d.
The frequency of the a allele is 0.23.
Place the steps for calculating predicted genotype frequencies in order from first to last.
1. Find p by subtracting p from 1.
2. Find q by taking the square root of q2.
3. Find q2.
4. Find 2pq by multiplying 2 times p times q.
5. Find p2 by squaring p.

- 1. We observe the trait of face freckles (F/f) within a population of 800 people in Mesa. For this assignment, assume freckles on the face are a heritable trait and are controlled by one gene, where F is dominant. The distribution of genotypes within this population are shown below in Table 1. Calculate the allele frequencies and the expected genotype frequencies. (Show your calculations and round to 3 decimal places). a. Allele frequencies: f (F) = p = 2(175)+304/2(800)= f (f) = q = Expected genotype frequencies: p2 = (0.409)2 = 0.167 q2 = 2pq =arrow_forward. A farmer have 2000 cows. A total of 1500 of the cows are browh coated and the rest are white coated. Allele B for the brown coat is dominant, while allele b for the white coat is recessive: Assume that the population of the cows is at genetic equilibrium and bred randomly. Calculate the frequency for the dominant and recessive alleles of the population. i. Calculate the genotype frequencies in the F1 generation if the cows are left to breed randomly. ii. If the farmer adds another 1000 homozygous dominant brown cows into the populations, calculate the new dominant allele frequency. ii. iv.

Occasionally, plants with pink flowers are observed in wild populations. Flower color is controlled at a single locus, with the pink allele completely recessive to the blue allele. In one population, 25 pink flowers and 3291 blue flowers were found. a. Calculate the expected allele frequencies and genotype frequencies if the population were in HWE. b. The mean # of pods of these plants were examined. Assume that heterozygotes are as fit as homozygous blue, and that seeds from both pink and blue all suffer about the same mortality rate after germinating. Calculate the relative fitness of each genotype. c. Predict quantitatively the effect of natural selection on the frequencies of phenotypes in the next generation.
