Question

A gene has 2 alleles, R & B, List the possible genotypes? I also need help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8 please help! Pls look at the picture! I will mark whoever sounds best the brain! Ty!

Answer 1

Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30
