Rabbits with the brown coat color allele (B) are dominant over rabbits with the white coat color allele (b). A small population of rabbits (Parent Generation) has 2 individuals homozygous for B, 6 individuals that are heterozygous, and 2 individuals homozygous for b. What would you predict the frequencies of alleles B and b to be in the next (first) generation if this population is not evolving

CAay Bew Scace In guinea pigs, rough coat is daminant (R) to smooth coat () and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rough black guinea pig bred with a rough white one produces 29 rough black offspring, 31 rough white offspring, 11 smooth black and9 smooth white. Give the genotypes of the parents, the probability for the offspring, and the actual number of each kind of offspring you would expect. 9. Genatype of the rough, black parent?

In humans, there is a gene that influences the ability to smell the thioesters present in urine after asparagus is eaten. The ability to smell these compounds is an autosomal dominant trait. A is dominant and confers the ability to smell these thioesters a is recessive and does NOT confer the ability to smell these thioesters p = freq (A) = frequency of allele A in the population = number of A alleles/ total number of alleles %3D q = freq (a) = frequency of allele a in the population where p + q = 1 and, therefore, p? + 2pq + q? = 1 and %3D %D p? = freq (AA) = frequency of genotype AA = number of AA individuals/ total number of individuals %3D 2pq = freq (Aa) = frequency of genotype Aa q? = freq (aa) = frequency of genotype aa Phenotype Number of People Able to smell thioesters 378 Unable to smell thioesters 1323 Total 1701 1. Calculate p and q for this population. 2. Calculate p?, 2pq, and q? for this population.
For the purpose of the assignment, we will refer to XY individuals as male and XX individuals as female. In humans, colorblindness (b) is an example of an X-linked recessive trait. In this problem, a male with colorblindness XbY marries a female who is not colorblind but is a carrier of the colorblindness allele (XXb). Using a Punnett square, determine the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities (as percentages) for their potential offspring. Give the percentages in numbers, without the percent sign, for each genotype and phenotype. Genotypes XX Xxb xbxb XY xby Phenotypes Consider females (XX) individuals only. In the two questions below, I am asking for the % of females, not % of all people. What is the % of females who are not colorblind? What is the% of females who are colorblind? Now consider makes (XX) individuals only. In the two questions below, I am asking for the % of
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) producesyellow color. These alleles are co‐dominant to each other. Aheterozygote produces a tortoise‐shell color. The alleles (B)and (b) are sex‐linked as well. Cross a tortoise‐shell femalewith a yellow male. What percent of their offspring will be yellow? What percent of their offspring will be black? What percent of their offspring will be tortoise shell?
One of the coat color patterns in cats is determined by a pair of codominant alleles located onthe X The allele (B) produces black color, and its allele (B') produces yellow color.The heterozygote (BB') has a tortoise-shell pattern. Determine the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies expected from a cross between a black male and yellow female. Determine the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies expected from a cross between a black male and tortoise-shell female.
A mouse strain that has undergone inbreeding for many generations (e.b. >1000 generations) will be which of the following: O homozygous for recessive alleles at every locus O homozygous for dominant alleles at every locus O have a dominant allele at each locus, but does not have to be homozygous O may have a combination of heterozygous and homozygous loci O a mixture of dominant and recessive homozygous genotypes

About 70% of American perceive a bitter taste from the chemical phenylthiocarbamide ( PTC ). The ability to taste this chemical resultsfrom a dominant allele(T) and not being able to taste PTC is the result of having two recessive allele(t).Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being dominant(A) abd the lack of pigment being recssive(a).A normally pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has a father who is an albinotaster.She marries a homozygous,normally pigmented man who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC.What are the genotypes of the possible children?
Short hair in rabbit is controlled by T allele is dominant to long hair which is controlled by t allele. Black hair is controlled by B allele is dominant to brown hair which is controlled by b allele. A male rabbit has the genotype ttbb.

2 (a) The trait of hen- versus cock-feathering is a sex-limited trait controlled by a single gene. HH and Hh males always exhibit the hen-featuring trait. Only hh males show the cock-feathering trait. Starting with two heterozygous fowls that are hen- feathered, describe how you would obtain a true-breeding line that always produces cock-feathered males. [Ciri berhulu avam hatin
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics Suppose you are monitoring the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MN blood group locus (see Question 2 for a description of the MN blood group) in a small human population. You find that for 1-year-old children, the genotypic frequencies are MM = 0.25, MN = 0.5, and NN = 0.25, whereas the genotypic frequencies for adults are MM = 0.3, MN = 0.4, and NN = 0.3. a. Compute the M and N allele frequencies for 1-year-olds and adults. b. Are the allele frequencies in equilibrium in this population? c. Are the genotypic frequencies in equilibrium?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
