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: C

                         

Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,  the frequencies of the A and B alleles are 0.26 and 0.07, respectively. You now examine the ABO blood types in a new population. You observe that the A, B, and O blood types all have equal frequencies in this population. What are the frequencies of the A and O alleles in this population?

Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of the A and B alleles are 0.26 and 0.07, respectively. You now examine the ABO blood types in yet another population. You observe that the AB blood type has a frequency of 0.50 in this population. What are the frequencies of the A and O alleles in this population?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Assume that mating is random. First, consider an autosomal recessive disease that is usually lethal in childhood, and that has an incidence among newborns of 1/3000. What mutation rate would be required to maintain this frequency in the population?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Assume that mating is random. First, consider an autosomal recessive disease that is usually lethal in childhood, and that has an incidence among newborns of 1/3000.  Perhaps the explanation for the incidence of the disease is heterozygote advantage. How large would this heterozygote advantage have to be (assuming the mutation rate is negligible)?

Assume that mating is random. Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait that is found in about 5 percent of males. What fraction of females are heterozygous carriers of the colorblindness allele?
