Question

Rank the following terms in increasing order of scale according to your knowledge of their definitions:

-Locus
-Allele
-Chromosome
-Gene

If 16% of a population expressed a recessive trait, what percentage of the gene pool is the dominant allele?

Consider a population of Peach-faced lovebirds where:

65% of all gametes carry a dominant allele (F) for regular plumage (feather colors).

The remaining 35% carry the recessive allele (f) for a plumage with white.

When two heterozygous (Ff) individuals breed, we expect the genotype Ff to account for_____% of the new generation.

In the case of a species of sea lions displaying assortative mating (where individuals prefer to mate with individuals that look like them), the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium are still met and supported (T or F)

If 90% of the alleles in a population are dominant, what is the ratio of genotypes?


What are genes comprised of?


In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what does 2pq denote?

Without strong natural selection, recessive alleles will inevitable disappear from a population T or F


If the proportion of sickle-cell sufferers (HbS-HbS homozygotes) in a population is 0.04, according to the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what is the proportion of sickle-cell carriers (HbS-HbA heterozygotes) in that population?






Explanation / Answer

increasing order of scale according to your knowledge of their definitions:

answer ; 1.chromosome 2.gene 3.allele 4. locus .

2. the percentage of the recessive allele is 16 , percentage of the dominant allele is 84 %,it is done through the hardy weinburg equation .

3. 50% will be the heterozygous with Ff genotype.

4. True , they can display hardy weinburg equation

5 . if 90% populations are dominant , then the genotypes will homozygous dominant for both the parents

6. What are genes comprised of?

answer ; the genes are comprised of the functional part of the chromosome

7.In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what does 2pq denote?

answer; it represent the heterozygous genotype in a population.

8. true

9. 0.235 , it is done through hardy weinburg equation
