Consider the ABO “blood type” gene. This single gene has three alleles called A, B, and O. There are four resultant “blood types” (phenotypic classes), as follows:

                                     

Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,  the frequencies of the A and B alleles are 0.26 and 0.07, respectively. What is the frequencies of the four blood types such as A, B, AB  and O in Norway;

Assume that long ear lobes in humans are an autosomal dominant trait that exhibits 50% penetrance. A person who is heterozygous for long ear lobes mates with a person who is homozygous for normal ear lobes. What is the probability that their first child will have long ear lobes.

In some goats, the presence of horns is produced by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A horned female is crossed with a hornless male. The F1 offspring are intercrossed to produce the F2. What proportion of the F2 offspring will have horns?

Eye color in Drosophila present on X chromosome, Red eye color is dominant over white eye color. There is non disjunction in Meiosis I in female and normal meiosis in male. Female is white eye color was cross with red eye male. What will be expected phenotype in their progeny?
