Chapter 23.2, Problem 3CC

WHAT IF? → A locus that affects susceptibility to a degener-ative bram discasc has two alleles, V and v. In a population, 16 people have genotype VV, 92 have geootype Vv, and 12 have genotype vv. Is this population evolving? Explain.

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
l Metro by T-Mobile 1 2:29 PM • 16% I In flies, long wings are a dominant trait, and short wings are a recessive trait. Medium wings are the heterozygous trait. Based on this information, if a homozygous long-winged fly is crossed with another a heterozygous'fly, their offspring will have which percentages for long, medium, and short wings? Assume random chromosome segregation. 17) A) 25% long, 75% medium, 0% short B) 50% long, 25% medium, 25% short 50% long, 50% medium, 0% short D) 100% medium, 0% long, 0% short
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?
