Question

3. In centaurs, the allele for curly tails (T) is incompletely dominant to the allele for straight tails (t). The hybrid genotype results in wavy tails. In a population of 1500 centaurs, 315 have curly tails, 820 have wavy tails, and the remainder has straight tails.
a. Determine the allele frequencies of: T = ____________ t = ____________

b. Determine the genotype frequencies of TT = ___________ tt = ____________​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Determine the allele frequencies of:

f(T) = 0.485 ≅ 0.48

f(t) = 0.515 ≅ 0.52

b. Determine the genotype frequencies of the exposed generation

• F (TT) = 0.21
• F (Tt) = 0.55
• F (tt) = 0.24

the genotype frequencies of the next generation

• F(TT) = 0.23
• F(Tt) = 0.5
• F(tt) = 0.27
