Recall that the alleles for blood groups are A, B, O, and that A and B are each dominant to O, and A and B are codominant (AA and AO= A blood type; BB and BO = B blood type; AB = AB blood type; OO = O blood type). According to the Red Cross, in the US Asian population the alleles frequencies of A, B, an O are 18.8%, 17.6%, and 63.6%, respectively. If a mother and son from this population have blood type AB and the father has blood type B, what is the probability that the father’s genotype is BB?

In a population of 200 people, an allele F has a frequency of 84%. What is the frequency of allele f? Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, estimate the numbers of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes. (Remember that the formula is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, where p represents the dominant allele and q represents the recessive allele.) *Be sure to account for all 200 people in the population.
Consider the MN blood system in humans. This blood system consists of only two alleles, M and N, and they are codominant to each other. Three genotypes are possible, and these genotypes can be easily identified through simple blood typing procedures, including the heterozygous MN due to the codominant mode of inheritance. Consider the following data: Phenotype Genotype Number of individuals M MM 89 MN MN 162 N NN 79 1. How many alleles exist in this population? 2. What is the genotypic frequency of the M blood type in the population? 3. What is the allelic frequency of M? 4. What is the allelic frequency of N? 5. What is the genotypic frequency of MN?

A total of 1000 members of a Central American population are typed for the ABO blood group. In the sample, 421 have blood type A, 168 have blood type B, 336 have blood type O, and 75 have blood type AB. Part A Use this information to determine the frequency of ABO blood group alleles in the sample. Recall that when considering genes with three alleles whose frequencies are represented by the variables p, q, and r, the sum of genotype frequencies resulting from trinomial expansion is: (p+q+r)² =p² + 2pq+q2+2pr+r²+2gr = 1
A worldwide survey of genetic variation in human populations reported the autosomal codominant MN blood group types in a sample of 1029 Chinese individuals from Hong Kong. The sample contained 342 people with blood type M, 500 with blood type MN, and 187 with blood type N. Part A The number of people expected in each blood-type category is: Enter the values expected for MM, MN and NN blood-type categories, respectively, separated by commas and using two decimal places (example 1.02, 2.30, 3.45).
In human population X, consider the simple Mendelian trait for freckles. F is the dominant allele and f is the recessive allele. Individuals who are homozygous dominant (FF) or heterozygous (Ff) for the trait express freckles. Individuals who are homozygous recessive (ff) for the trait do not express freckles. In this population, 30% (0.3) of the alleles are recessive (f) and 70% (0.7) are dominant (F). Q1. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the genotype frequencies we should expect in the next generation. Be sure to show your work. Q2. You have collected data on the observed genotype frequencies of the next generation. They are: 60% FF, 30% Ff, and 10% ff. Based on these observations and your expectations, is this trait currently evolving in this population? Why or why not? Show your work.
While studying the frequency of sickle-cell disease ("sickle cell anemia") in a population living in sub-Saharan Africa, you obtain the following data from a sample of n= 100 people (note that I chose a simpler system for identifying the alleles rather than using "Hb S" for sickle cell allele), which is the actual name and what you used in lab). What is the frequency of the sickle cell allele (b) in the sample below from a human population?

Human blood type is determined by three alleles, IA, IB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both are dominant to IO. These alleles combine to produce four phenotypes: type A, type B, type AB, and type O. Within a large, randomly mating population (540,000 individuals), the frequencies for the blood type alleles are 0.3 for the IA allele, 0.6 for the IO allele, and 0.1 for the IB allele. Calculate the expected numbers of people in the population having each of the blood types A, B, AB, and O. A. A = 48,600 people B = 5,400 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people B. A = 243,000 people B = 5,400 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people C. A = 162,000 people B = 54,000 people AB = 3,240 people O = 324,000 people D. A = 194,400 people B = 64,800 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people E. A = 243,000 people B = 70,200 people AB = 32,400 people O = 194,400 people
