Problem: Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). 40% of the butterflies are white. Given this information, choose the correct answers that will properly identify the values for dominant and recessive alleles and genotypes of the population.
What is the value for the dominate allele of the example above?
Question 1 options:
0.04
0.60
0.8
80%
Question 2
Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). 40% of the butterflies are white. Given this information, choose the correct answers that will properly identify the values for dominant and recessive alleles and genotypes of the population.
What is the value for the recessive allele of the above example?
Question 2 options:
0.60
0.8
0.40
80%
Question 3
Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). 40% of the butterflies are white. Given this information, choose the correct answers that will properly identify the values for dominant and recessive alleles and genotypes of the population.
Using the H-W equation; if the 2pq value of the butterflies was 0.48, what does this indicate?
Question 3 options:
Heterozygous individuals
Homozygous individuals
Dominant alleles only
More information is needed
Question 4
Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). 40% of the butterflies are white. Given this information, choose the correct answers that will properly identify the values for dominant and recessive alleles and genotypes of the population.
Using your H-W equation, calculate the following. The value of q is 0.28; what is the value of p2?
Question 4 options:
0.52
0.32
0.72
0.08
Question 5
Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). 40% of the butterflies are white. Given this information, choose the correct answers that will properly identify the values for dominant and recessive alleles and genotypes of the population.
What does the above information tell us about the answer of p = 0.72?
Question 5 options:
Homozygous recessive individuals are more common
Heterozygous individuals are more common
Both the dominant and recessive alleles are equally dispersed in this population
Homozygous dominant individuals are more common
Question 6
Heterozygous individuals will display the dominant trait but carry the recessive allele that can be passed to future offspring.
Question 6 options:
True
False
