A population of 40 asters segregating at two loci with two alleles each (A/T and G/C) has 8 individuals with the AAGGgenotype. The allele frequencies of A and G are 0.5 and 0.5 in the population. What is the coefficient of gametic disequilibrium, D? What is the value of Lewontin’s D’? (that is “D prime”)

A total of 6129 North American Caucasians were blood typed for the MN locus, which is determined by two codominant alleles, LM and LN. The following data were obtained: Blood type Number M 1787 MN 3039 N 1303 Carry out a chi-square test to determine whether this population is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium at the MN locus.
Suppose there is an autosomal locus of 2 alleles, A1 and A2, with probabilities (frequencies) p1 and p2, and the genotype probabilities (frequencies) are P(A1A1) = p1*p1, P(A1A2) = 2*p1*p2, and P(A2A2) = p2*p2, respectively. Prove the Hardy-Weinberg Law, i.e., after one generation of random mating, the genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring are also P(A1A1) = p1*p1, P(A1A2) = 2*p1*p2, and P(A2A2) = p2*p2. Hint: List all possible combinations of random mating. Then list the probabilities of the resulting genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring. Combine the probabilities of random mating and resulting genotype probabilities (frequencies) in the offspring.

You mate wildtype (e+e+ ) with ebony ( ee ), after more than a month you got the F2, the number of the offspring was 100, 78 of them were wildtype and 22 were ebony. Is there a significant difference between observed and expected results? Calculate chi square, then reject or accept the null and remember that the cut off value of p-value is 0.05.
Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. a) A population of butterflies showed 49% yellow, and 51% blue and green. What percentage of the gametes for the next generation would contain the DB allele? b) In another population only 1% of the butterflies are blue, what is the DY allele frequency? c) If the butterflies were subject to predation by birds that could easily detect blue & yellow individuals what effect would you expect this to have on the genotype and allele frequencies over time? Indicate possible percentages.
Allele B is a deleterious autosomal dominant. The frequency of affected individuals is 4.0 × 10−6. The reproductive capacity of these individuals is about 30 percentthat of normal individuals. Estimate μ, the rate at whichb mutates to its deleterious allele B. Assume that the frequencies of the alleles are at their equilibrium values.
Using the observed counts for each genotype, how do you find the expected values with those numbers and the frequencies?
