Question

Frequency should be in two decimal places (ex. 0.25) and percentage should be in Whole numbers (ex. 25%)

1. In humans, attached ear lobes are caused by the inheritance of two recessive alleles. Free ear lobes are the result of inheriting at least one dominant allele for free ear lobes. The frequency of the recessive allele is 17% (0.17). a) Give the Allele Frequency and Genotype Frequency. How many people in a population of 7000 would carry the allele for free ear lobes?

2. Suppose the allele frequencies for the autosomal gene for eye color are B = 0.49 and b = 0.51, where B is brown, and b is blue. If Brown is completely dominant with Blue, Find the Genotype Frequency and the Phenotype Frequency

3. Assume that in sheep, white wool color is dominant to black wool color. If 33% of the sheep in a large population have black wool, calculate the allele frequency, and genotype frequency.

4. The ability to taste PTC is due to a single dominant allele "T". You sampled 12036 individuals and determined that 3415 could detect the bitter taste of PTC and 8621 could not. Calculate the allele frequencies of each allele and the expected genotype frequencies. Couldn't taste PTC is recessive "t".
