1. You are studying a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, where eye colour is controlled by a single gene. This gene has 3 alleles: A1 is dominant to A2 and A3, and the phenotype is brown eyes A2 is dominant to A3, and the phenotype is blue eyes A3 phenotype is green eyes.

a) What eye colour would be expected for someone whose genotype is A2A3? a) Green b) Blue c) Brown b)

b) If the frequency of the A1 allele is .60, and the frequency of the A2 allele is.35, what is the frequency of people in this population who are brown-eyed, but carry the green eye allele?

In humans, blue eye colour (B) is completely dominant to brown eye colour (b). In a certain population, the following data was gathered: -Blue eyes, 68 ; brown eyes, 32 What are the frequencies of the two alleles? Is it possible, in theory, to determine whether this population is in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium from the data given alone? (Hint: how many heterozygotes are among the blue eyed individuals?)

A population of 100,000 Arabidopsis thaliana plants is initially at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the A gene, where two alleles, A1 and A2, are present at equal frequencies. The population undergoes 2 generations of 100% self-fertilization. a) After 2 generations of selfing, what are the expected values for: 1) genotype frequencies, 2) allele frequencies, and 3) the population inbreeding coefficient. (The math is easiest using fractions.)

You are studying a population of cichlid fish and a gene associated with scale shape, in which large scales allele is delineated as A1 and the small scales allele is delineated as A2.

In 1783, a British sailing ship crashes on an island in the South Pacific. 100 individuals survive, only to discover that the island is already inhabited by a native population of 300. With no hope of returning home, they join the local population. A) In Great Britain, the allele frequency for blue eyes (b) is 0.8. If the native population is true-breeding for brown eyes (B, which has complete dominance over b), what is the new allele frequency for this...

Consider a population of river eels of size 1000. You observe that 422 of these eels express a recessive phenotype known as super-slimy. A single gene with two alleles, S and s, controls this condition, with the S allele dominant to the s allele. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (s) in a population at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE)? 0.422 0.578 0.650 0.760
