1. Consider two genes that are independent, the A gene and the B gene. Each gene has two alleles (A gene: A1 and A2, B gene: B1 and B2). The frequency of A1 allele at the A gene is 0.37 and the frequency of the B2 allele at the B gene is 0.73. What is the probability of an individual in a randomly mating population of having A1A2B1B2 as their genotype?

2. In a population of bacterial cells you know that the frequency of the four bases of DNA are 0.4 (A), 0.11 (C), 0.1 (G), and 0.39 (T). What is the probability if each base position is independent of the others of the DNA sequence ATGGC? (round to 5 decimals)

can you please help me with these questions? thank you and I will rate

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...

A hypothetical population ofcats has two alleles, TL and TS, for a gene that codes for tail length. The allele frequency of TL is 0.7 and the allele frequency of TS is 0.3. TLTL individuals have long tails. TLTS individuals have medium tails. TSTS individuals have short tails. The equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that at a locus with two alleles, as in this cat population, the three genotypes will occur in specific proportions, described by the equation p2 +...

Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due to size. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population, while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population. Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutations in one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene is large. 1. State the probability that there are more than two people with mutations total between...

Red, Blue and Green are three genes found on the same chromosome. Each gene has two alleles: R or r, B and b, and G and g, respectively. The somatic cells and gametes of a person that is heterozygous for the alleles of all three genes are studied to understand the relationships between the three genes. It is found that the dominant alleles for Red and Green is on the person’s paternal chromosome, but the dominant allele for Blue is...

In a population, genes A and B, each with two alleles, are linked. There are 4 individuals with haplotype "AB", 2 with 'ab' and 2 with 'ab' and 2 with 'aB'. Calculate linkage disequilibrium (D), where D = P(AB) - P(A)P(B) (where P(AB) is the frequency of that haplotype, and p(A) and P(B) are the frequencies of those individual alleles

1. Wool color in sheep is under the control of an autosomal gene which segregates two alleles: B,confers white wool, while the recessive allele b specifies black wool. A population of sheep under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed: Of 325 individuals, 194 have white wool and 131 have black wool. . What is the frequency of the B allele? b. How many of the 194 white sheep are expected to be heterozygous? 2. Cat coat color is controlled by an X-linked...
