A geneticist collected data of a population of mice. Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (

Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).
What are the allele frequencies for the (B) and (b) alleles in this population?

A. B = 0.32; b = 0.68
B. B = 0.36; b = 0.64
C. B = 0.48; b = 0.52
D. B = 0.45; b = 0.55

Answer:

option C: B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Explanation:

Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).

BB        Bb       bb    Total

12     +  24    +  14   =  50

the formular for alleleic frequency (p) is (BB+ Bb/2) / total,

q = (bb + Bb/2) / total

Allelic frequecy of B (p) is (12 + 24/2) /50 = 12 + 12 = 24/50 = 0.48

Allelic frequency of b (q) is (14 + 24/2) / 50= 14 + 12 = 26/50 = 0.52

check p + q = 1; 0.48 + 0.52 = 1

if a yellow (yy) rose and a red (rr) rose cross pollinate with incomplete dominance, what color would their offspring be?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Look below.

Explanation:

You could solve this by using a punnett square. I tried my best to repicate a punnett square below but look up punnett squares for more reference.

                                y                                y

                       ----------------------------------------------------

            r       /        yr                     /         yr                 /

                     /    ---------------------/--------------------------- /

            r       /         yr                    /          yr               /

                       -----------------------------------------------------

The probability of the phenotype being yr is 100% meaning that the phenotype would be yr which could be either yellow or red.
