6. What is the expected frequency of heterozygotes if the two populations were inter-breeding? 7. What is the inbreeding coefficient (or heterozygote deficit) for these two populations? 8. Based on these data, what can you can conclude about the connectivity of these two subpopulations? In other words, should you start down the (potentially expensive) path of in-situ conservation (cultivating seeds in the lab) and artificial pollination to increase the genetic health of these two populations?

Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the expected frequency of heterozygotes using the Hardy-Weinberg equation: \(2pq\), where \(p\) is the frequency of one allele and \(q\) is the frequency of the other allele. Show more…

At a particular site in the genome a "G" and "C" nucleotide are segregating. The frequency of "G" is 0.3. Calculate the expected frequency of each genotype under HWE. f(GG) = f(GC) = f(CC) = Calculate the expected frequency of the heterozygote if the inbreeding coefficient is F=0.5. f(GC) = Which type of mating might show a level of heterozygosity similar to what is predicted in 3b? (Circle one). Positive assortative mating Negative assortative mating If the "G" and "C" mutations are neutral, what is the probability that the "C" allele eventually becomes fixed in the population?

Inbreeding in a population causes a deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations such that there are more homozygotes than expected. For a locus with a rare deleterious allele at a frequency of $0.04,$ what would be the frequency of homozygotes for the deleterious allele in populations with inbreeding coefficients of $F=0.0$ and $F=0.125 ?$
