The ability to taste PTC comes from the presence of a dominant allele (T). A population of 20 individuals was surveyed to determine whether or not they could taste PTC. Sixteen out of the twenty surveyed could taste PTC. Four could not taste PTC. Assume that Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium conditions are met in the population. Round all answers properly to 2 decimal digits. Rounding rules: When rounding to 2 decimal digits, look at the third decimal digit. If the third digit is 5 or greater, round up. If the third digit is less than 5, round down.
What is the frequency of the non-taster allele (t) in this population?
What is the frequency of the taster allele (T) in this population?
What is the frequency of the TT genotype? Answer What is the frequency of the Tt genotype?
What is the frequency of the tt genotype? Answer How many people in this population are expected to be heterozygous for this locus? Round to the closest whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1) What is the frequency of the non-taster allele (t) in this population?  

f (t) = q = 0.45

2) What is the frequency of the taster allele (T) in this population?

f (T) = p = 0.55

3) What is the frequency of the TT genotype?

F (TT) = p² = 0.3

4) What is the frequency of the Tt genotype?

F (Tt) = 2pq = 0.5

5) What is the frequency of the tt genotype?

F (tt) = q² = 0.2  

6) How many people in this population are expected to be heterozygous for this locus?

Tt = 10 individuals

What is a genotype?

A genotype is someone's collection of genes. The word also can guide the two alleles inherited for a respective gene.

The genotype is defined when the information encoded in the genes' DNA is used to make protein and RNA molecules.
