See AnswerQ: Identify each of the following as an example of allele, genotype
Identify each of the following as an example of allele, genotype, and/or phenotype frequency: A. Approximately 1 in 2500 people of Northern European descent is born with cystic fibrosis. B. The perc...
See AnswerQ: The term polymorphism can refer to both genes and traits. Explain
The term polymorphism can refer to both genes and traits. Explain what is meant by a polymorphic gene and a polymorphic trait. If a gene is polymorphic, does the trait that the gene affects also have...

See AnswerQ: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal disorder. In certain populations of Northern European descent, the number of people born with this disorder is about 1 in 2500. Assuming HardyWeinberg equ...
See AnswerQ: For a gene existing in two alleles, what are the allele
For a gene existing in two alleles, what are the allele frequencies when the heterozygote frequency is at its maximum value, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What if there are three alleles?
See AnswerQ: In a population, the frequencies of two alleles are B =
In a population, the frequencies of two alleles are B = 0.67 and b = 0.33. The genotype frequencies are BB = 0.50, Bb = 0.37, and bb = 0.13. Do these numbers suggest inbreeding? Explain why or why not...
See AnswerQ: The ability to roll your tongue is inherited as a recessive trait
The ability to roll your tongue is inherited as a recessive trait. The frequency of the rolling allele is approximately 0.6, and that of the dominant (nonrolling) allele is 0.4. What is the frequency...
