Question

A population of capybaras contains 104 individuals. Studying them you discover that they have two types of alleles for a certain gene. The frequency of the recessive allele (c) is 0.3 and we assume that this is an ideal population with simple dominance. a. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele, C. b. Calculate the genotype frequencies in the next generation (F1) c. Calculate the phenotype frequencies of F1 d. Calculate the heterozygosity (H) e. Calculate the number of heterozygous individuals in the wild population

Answer 1

Answer:

a.

• f(C) = p = 0.7

b.  

• F(CC) = p² = 0.49
• F(cc) = q² = 0.09
• F(Cc) = 2pq = 0.42

c.

• F(C-) = 0.91
• F(cc) = 0.09

d.

• F(Cc) = 2pq = 0.42

e.

• 43.68 individuals Cc
