Question

Evolution PCB4674 HWE practice questions Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium practice questions You observe a field of wildflowers with the following genotype frequencies AA: 44, Aa: 66, aa: 22. What are the allele frequencies? is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? expected genotype genotype frequency allele expected genotype # 0.333 0.340 0.486 0.174 0.583 44.917 64.167 22.917 0.5 0.167 0.417 132 Yes, observed genotype numbers are close to expected so population is in HWE 2 Given initial allele frequencies of A: 0.3 and a: 0.7, calculate the final allele frequencies for a population of 10000 individuals one generation later assuming HWE conditions are met. What are the genotype frequencies, and numbers? expected genotype frequency expected genotype frequency allele frequency 0.09 0.42 0.49 900 4200 4900 0.3 Aa 0.7 A: 0.3 a:0.7 Recall if HWE assumptions are met, allele frequencies do not change generation after generation 3 Repeat question 2 assuming that mutation converts A to a at a rate of 1 in 10,000 allele frequency allele expected mutation genotype genotype # frequency frequency frequency 0.09 0.42 Trequency genotype expected 0.3 0.29997 900 0.3 0.3(0.0001) 0.3 4200 Aa 0.7+ 0.3(0.0001) 0.70003 0.7 0.49 4900 0.7
