Solution

The probability that an individual receives a B allele from both its mother and its father is represented by p^2. This is because the frequency of the B allele is p, and the individual must receive this allele from both parents. Therefore, the probability is p * p, or p^2.

A gene is found in two forms in a population of plants. The two alleles are denoted as B and b. You determine that the frequency of the B allele in this population is 0.2. If this population is in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the probability of a heterozygote in the next generation.Multiple choice question.0.160.320.640.04

If the frequency of allele A is 0.6 and the frequency of allele a is 0.4, what is the probability that an individual will receive two a alleles?Multiple choice question.0.360.40.160.2

For a gene with two alleles whose frequencies are p and q, the Hardy-Weinberg equation states that the genotypes that are possible for the population are p2 + 2pq + q2, which is equal to Blank______.Multiple choice question.(p + q)2p2 - q2p2 + q2q - p

At one gene locus in humans there are 2 alleles: one for curly hair and another for straight hair. Neither allele is dominant, and heterozygous individuals have wavy hair. At a second gene locus, 3 alleles control ABO blood type. The alleles at these 2 gene loci assort independently. A man with straight hair and A blood has children with a woman with wavy hair and B blood. Their first child has straight hair and O blood. If their second child is a boy with straight hair, what is the probability that he has A blood? (Express your answer as a percentage. Enter the number only without the percent sign. For example, enter 100% as 100 and enter 12.5% as 12.5.)

Consider a population and a gene that has two alleles in this population, designated as P and p.
