If the population of a place has a certain character which is recessive in as many as 100 individuals. Find the value of q if total number of individuals are 1000 (1) 0.1 (2) 0.7 (3) 0.3 (4) 1.0
Added by Cathy K.
Step 1
We are given a population of 1000 individuals, out of which a certain recessive character appears in 100 individuals. We need to find the value of q, which represents the frequency of the recessive allele in the population. Show more…

In the population of 50,000 individuals, if the frequency of the recessive allele for a character is 40%, then find out the percentage of organisms having the recessive character: (1) 16% (2) 40% (3) 36% (4) 48%

In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the recessive homozygote genotype of a certain trait is 0.20. Calculate the percentage of individuals homozygous for the dominant allele.

Consider 10 populations that have the genotype frequencies shown in the following table: a. Which of the populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? b. What are $p$ and $q$ in each population? c. In population $10,$ the $A \rightarrow a$ mutation rate is discovered to be $5 \times 10^{-6}$. What must be the fitness of the $a / a$ phenotype if the population is at equilibrium? d. In population $6,$ the $a$ allele is deleterious; furthermore, the $A$ allele is incompletely dominant; so $A / A$ is perfectly fit, $A / a$ has a fitness of $0.8,$ and a/a has a fitness of $0.6 .$ If there is no mutation, what will $p$ and $q$ be in the next generation?
