In an isolated population of 10,000 rabbits, 900 are homozygous for a recessive mutant Sp1 allele. Assuming the population is in

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the percentage of rabbits in the population that would be heterozygous for the mutant Sp1 allele

42% of rabbits in the population are heterozygous for the mutant Sp1 allele

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

  • Assume that p is the frequency of the dominant allele
  • p² is the frequency of the organisms with homozygous dominant genotype
  • Assume that q is the frequency of the recessive allele
  • q² is the frequency of the organisms with homozygous recessive genotype
  • 2pq is the frequency of the organisms with heterozygous genotype
  • p+q = 1

According to the question, 900 out of 10000 rabbits are homozygous recessive

  • This implies that q² = 900/10000= 9/100= 0.09
  • So, q = 0.3
  • The frequency of the recessive allele is 0.3
  • p = 1-q = 1-0.3= 0.7

For organisms with heterogenous genotype, their frequency is 2pq

2pq= 2 x 0.3 x 0.7 = 0.42

In terms of percentage, 0.42x 100% = 42%

Therefore, 42% of rabbits in the population are heterozygous for the mutant Sp1 allele.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

4 types of mutation:

Germline mutations occur in gametes. Somatic mutations occur in other body cells.

Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure.

Point mutations change a single nucleotide.

Frameshift mutations are additions or deletions of nucleotides that cause a shift in the reading frame.

3 more:

Over a lifetime our DNA can undergo changes or 'mutations?' in the sequence of bases?, A, C, G and T.

This results in changes in the proteins that are made.

Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.
