Cattle coat color is determined by codominant alleles R and r. RR results

Author:
January 4th, 2018

1. Cattle coat color is determined by
codominant alleles R and r. RR results in a reddish cow, Rr in a roan coloured
cow, and rr in a white coloured cow. A population of 4000 cattle consisted of
2560 reds, 1280 roans and 160 white cattle. Calculate the gene frequency of the
‘R’ gene and the ‘r’ gene. If you fill in the Table below you’ll have your
answer:

Phenotype

Number of genes

Gene Frequency

Hence
the overall gene frequency (f(p)) of the red gene =
Hence
the overall gene frequency (f(q)) of the white gene =
You
can also solve this question using the Hardy Weinberg formula
2. PKU
(phenylketonuria) occurs in about 1 out of 12,000 Caucasians. It is rarer in
other ethnic groups. Calculate the frequency of the recessive disease causing
gene. Calculate the frequency of the normal gene. Complete the following table:

Human Phenotypes

Number in a population of 12000

Human Genotypes

Number in a population of 12000

Normal

15624

Hint: Here you must
start the answer by calculating the frequency of the homozygous recessive gene
q and you know that homozygous individuals occur in the population once every
12,000 individuals. Hence q2= 1 in
15625.

3.10% of human males in a sampled population were found to be
red/green colorblind. This is a recessive sex-linked condition. What proportion
of human females are expected to be colorblind in this population. Hint: You
might find it easier to answer this question if you
referred to the table below, whereXb is the
recessive X-linked colour-blind allele and XB is the
dominant normal gene.

The support team was available upon request. For the past two semesters I have been stressing on receiving my assignments on expected achievement dates. I value your service and hope that you all would improve your teamwork. I have been using this service now for 2-years and was totally satisfied. With this being said, I have spent at least a thousand plus dollars with this company. Knowing there are other competing companies that are on the market for a lot less than you guys are charging. "I trust that you all would get it together and avoid last minute communication which increases stress to the student."
