1. 0.3719 ( We know the frequency of the rr allele [48/347] which equals q^2. So, find the square root of q^2 and then you have the frequency of the r allele.) 2. 0.6281 ( q+p= 1. So, take the frequency of the r allele [q], and subtract it from 1, and you get p [the frequency of the R allele].) 3. 162.1163 ( Expected frequency of heterozygotes are 2pq. so 2x0.3719x0.6281= 0.46718078. To find the number of people, you take 2pq(total population)

Assume that there is complete dominance and complete penetrance at each locus and that epistasis does not occur. (These are the same conditions we used in class). Write your answers in numeric form (not in words). Referring to the cross DdFFGghhRrTt x DDffGgHhRRTt: 1. How many different gametes does the DdFFGghhRrTt parent produce? 2. How many different genotypes are found among the progeny of this cross? 3. How many different phenotypes are found among the progeny of this cross? 4. What is the probability that the first offspring from this cross will show the dominant phenotype for all loci? (Type in as a decimal and round to 6 digits.) 5.

Shaded individuals in this pedigree have an X-linked genetic disorder that causes green toenails. Individuals who are not shaded have the normal clear toenails. Please answer the following questions regarding this pedigree. Assume that a capital "G" represents the dominant allele and that a lower case "g" represents the recessive allele. 1. Which allele is dominant? 2. The pedigree identity numbers of the identical twins are 3. The genotype of individual I-4 is 4. The genotype of individual II-6 is 5. What is the probability that the next child from the marriage of II-2 x II-3 will have be a son with green toenails? 6. Supposed individuals III-1 and III-5 marry and have children. What is the probability that their first child will be a daughter with green toenails?

Refer to the biochemical pathway below for this question. Note that "Enz" stands for enzyme. The allele represented by the capital letter is dominant for each gene. Individuals with the normal phenotype produce the end product for this biochemical pathway. Mutant individuals do not produce the end product. Classify each genotype as to whether it results in a "Normal" or a "Mutant" phenotype. 1. Genotype bbeegg 2. Genotype BBEEGG 3. Genotype BbEeGg 4. Genotype BBEegg 5. Which enzyme(s) will an individual of genotype BbeeGG produce? Select the best answer.

A genetic disorder is controlled by several genes. The effects of the alleles at these loci are additive. Assume that there is no environmental effect. For each locus, a capital letter in the genotype confers 4 units of risk. Each lower case letter confers 2 units of risk. Individuals with more than 25 risk units have the disorder. 1. Joseph has genotype Ee HH Nn Rr. Does Joseph have the disorder? 2. Janet has the genotype ee HH Nn rr. Does Janet have the disorder? 3. Joseph and Janet are the parents of a child. What is the maximum number of risk factors that could be present in this child? Give your answer in numerical form
