What is the relationship between the frequencies of three alleles of a gene in a population, and how do they add up to a specific value?
The relationship between the frequencies of three alleles of a gene in a population is that they must add up to 1 (100). This is known as the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequencies of the three alleles can be represented as p, q, and r, and the equation p q r 1 must hold true in a population for genetic equilibrium to be maintained.

What is the method to calculate allele frequencies for a specific gene in a population?
To calculate allele frequencies for a specific gene in a population, you can use the formula: allele frequency (number of copies of a specific allele) / (total number of alleles in the population). This helps determine how common a particular allele is within the population.
What does the Hardy Weinberg principle predict?
Genotype frequencies in a population.
How to solve a Hardy-Weinberg problem?
To solve a Hardy-Weinberg problem, you need to use the formula p2 2pq q2 1, where p and q represent the frequencies of two alleles in a population. First, determine the allele frequencies using the given information. Then, use the formula to calculate the expected genotype frequencies. Compare the expected and observed genotype frequencies to determine if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
The frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from generation to generation unless?
Unless there are factors such as mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, or natural selection that can cause changes in allele frequencies within a population. This concept is known as the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which describes the conditions under which allele and genotype frequencies remain stable over time in a population.
How do you determine genotypic and phenotypic frequencies?
Frequency refers to how many copies of a gene are present in an entire population. Frequency is calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg Principle and can be back calculated if the number of homozygous recessive individuals in a population is known. Keep in mind that the frequency includes the number of alleles present in heterozygous individuals as well as in the homozygotes. p (dominant alleles)+ q (recessive alleles) = 1 p squared + 2pq (heterozygotes) + q squared = 1 If 25% of the population is recessive that means that q squared=.25 and q=.5 This also makes p=.5 This represents the mendelian ideal of 25% homozygous dominant, 50% heterozygous and 25% homozygous recessive. Populations rarely have frequencies that match the "ideal" with large percentages of traits with q or p frequencies at close to .99 when the other allele is quite rare.
What is the method to calculate allele frequencies for a specific gene in a population?
To calculate allele frequencies for a specific gene in a population, you can use the formula: allele frequency (number of copies of a specific allele) / (total number of alleles in the population). This helps determine how common a particular allele is within the population.
In a population the sum of the relative frequencies of all alleles for a particular trait is?
Gene or allele frequency
How do gene frequencies change when there is no relationship between genetic variation and reproductive success?
Alleles that are neither selected for or against will remain at the same frequency in a population. (This assumes that the population is also large enough to not suffer from variation due to genetic drift.)
How does mutation occur in the population?
Mutation can create new alleles, therfore can change allele frequencies in a population.
How do alleles influence natural selection?
It's the other way around: natural selection is the natural process that causes the frequencies of occurence of alleles in the population gene pool to shift.
What ratio of allele combination do you observe?
The allele combinations observed in individuals are determined by the genetic variations they inherit from their parents. The ratio of allele combinations in a population would depend on the frequencies of different alleles present in that population and the patterns of inheritance of those alleles. These ratios can vary depending on the specific genetic traits being studied.
A trait has two alleles and their frequencies are represented by p and q. If p 0.68 what is q?
In a population with two alleles for a trait, the frequencies of the alleles must add up to 1. If the frequency of allele p is 0.68, then the frequency of allele q can be calculated as q = 1 - p. Therefore, q = 1 - 0.68 = 0.32.
What indicates that evolution is occurring in a population in genetic terms?
In terms of a population, evolution is just the change of allele frequencies over time. Natural selection can cause certain advantageous alleles to increase in frequency, and detrimental alleles to decrease in frequency.
How can immigration and emigration alter allele frequencies in a population?
Let us say you have three alleles in a population of beetles. Two colors; brown is recessive to green. Thus you have; GG, which is homozygous dominant and green, you have Gb, which is heterozygous and also green. Then you have bb, which is homozygous recessive. This is your population of beetles. What do you think the allele frequency would be if GG, the homozygous dominant, either immigrated, or emigrated out of or into your population of beetles? Since the frequency of Gb and bb would necessarily go down statistically you would see more green morphologies and a change in genetic allele frequency. Assuming normal conditions.
What are the frequencies of alleles A and B?
Go to http://www.bloodbook.com/world-abo.html and figure it out, if you are desperate. Just keep in mind that the number of people in each country will affect the answer, so averaging will not work. The way to calculate the frequency of blood types is to find the numbers of each allele in your gene pool and divide each number by the total number of alleles. Multiply the decimal by 100 and you have a percent- your allele frequency.
What does the Hardy Weinberg principle predict?
Genotype frequencies in a population.
How do mutations relate to variations within a population?
Mutations contribute to genetic variation within a population by introducing new alleles. These new alleles can lead to different traits or characteristics, increasing diversity within the population. Over time, natural selection can act on this variation, influencing which traits become more or less common.
