6. The locus for orange color in cats is on the x-chromosome. In female cats, this locus is incompletely dominant. A homozygous orange female (oo) is orange. A homozygous wild type (otlo+) is black or brown. The heterozygote (olot) has both orange and black segments of fur and is called either "tortoise shel or calico" depending on whether it also has white spots. If a population of only female cats is sampled and the following classes are found, what is the allele frequency of the orange allele (o) in this female population? Total 1000 Black otlot calico or tortoise shell (oot) orange (olo) 993 0.420 b) 0.233 348 C. 0.259 d, 0.245 e, 0.168 a. 7. Assume that the allele frequency of the orange allele a 0.20. How many individuals would you expect to be orange if you took a sample of 1000 males from this same population? d. 200 e, 40 c, 466 a. 455 b, 123

Explanation / Answer

Solution7:

sample size=n=1000

probability=p=0.2

Expected individuals=mean=np=1000*0.2=1000*2/10=200

answer d
