Chapter 3, Problem 14P
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the top part of the graph corresponds to 100% frequency of the trait.
Introduction: The different forms of allele in two organisms of the species can result in changes in their appearance even though their genetic composition is highly similar. These are gene polymorphisms that account for the change in appearance of genetically similar organisms.

10, 15, 13, 12, 14
Could you please highlight the correct answer. and explain it
Corn plants from a test plot are measured, and the distribution of heights at 10-cm intervals is recorded in the following table: Height (cm) Plants (no.) 100 20 110 60 120 90 130 130 140 180 150 120 160 70 170 50 180 40 Calculate (a) the mean height, (b) the variance, (c) the standard deviation, and (d) the standard error of the mean. Plot a rough graph of plant height against frequency. Do the values represent a normal distribution? Based on your calculations, how would you assess the variation within this population?

- In a human population, the following data were obtained for numbers of people with each blood type (for 3 alleles, use 3 variables p,q, and r ; Hardy-Weinburg equation becomes (p^2 + q^2 + r^2 +2pq + 2pr + 2qr = 1):Type O – 804Type A – 997Type B – 295Type AB – 177Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

"In Finland, 256 people out of 10,000 are homozygous for the CCR5 allele mutation resulting in HIV resistance.

The slopes of the best fit lines are 1 and 0.6, respectively. The corresponding correlation coefficients are 0.2 and 0.7, respectively. Which 3 of the following are true? O The heritability estimated in population (a) is 1 and in population (b) is 0.6. O The heritability estimated in fig (a) must be less than that of (b) because (a) has more variation (spread in the data around the best fit line) O The heritability estimated in population (a) is 0.3. O Although, the figures indicate that there is a heritability for both, the heritability estimates for both populations is not given. The heritability indicated within population (a) is greater than that indicated within population (b). O Population (a) has greater variation about the best fit line, implying that one's ability to predict offspring trait values based on their specific parents' trait value is greater in population (b) than in population (a).…arrow_forward
