They do not carry the sickle cell allele, a. Individuals that are heterozygous have the advantage of being more resistant to malaria than homozygous dominant individuals, but are not affected by the disease.

In which of the simulated environments do individuals of the genotype Aa survive best?

The simulated environments individuals with the genotype Aa would survive best in were the grassland environment. They would also survive well in the rocky environment.


What is the frequency of genotype AA if the frequencies of AA?

If the frequency of genotype AA is p^2, where p is the frequency of allele A, then the frequency of genotype AA would be p^2.


Can parent with as and AA genotype give birth to ac genotype?

If the male parent has genotype AS and the female parent has genotype AA what is the offspring?


Which population in the hardy- weinberg equilibrium will become increasingly smaller if homozgotes selectively mate with individuals of the same genotype?

Heterozygotes. If AA X AA, or AA X AA, is all the mating allowed, then Aa will lose frequency in the population.


What is the percent probability that one child of a mother with the genotype AAA and a father with the genotype AAA will have the genotype AAA?

50% AA and 50% Aa


Can an AA and SS combination produce an SS genotype?

No because AA and SS create the genotype AS :)


What are genotype symbols?

i think they represent if you have dominant or recessive traits. For example a symbol for a genotype may be AA or Aa.


Can a child's genotype be different from that of both parents?

A genotype is decided from two alleles. One of these alleles comes from the father, and one comes from the mother. Thus it should be clear that the genotype can be different from both parents. For instance, suppose the father has genotype AA, and the mother has genotype aa. In this case, the child will have genotype Aa, which neither parent has.


What phenotype is produced by AA genotype?

If A represents a dominant allele, then the AA genotype would produce the dominant phenotype.


If the male parent has the genotype AAA and the female parent has the genotype AAA offsprings genotype will be?

The offspring's genotype will be AA. Both parents are homozygous dominant, AA, having only dominant alleles to pass on to their offspring. So each parent can pass on only the dominant allele (A) to its offspring. So the offspring will also be homozygous dominant, AA.
