In a randomly mating population of mice, 3 out of every  100 mice born have white fur, a recessive trait. Calculate the homozygous dominant frequency of the population.

In a randomly mating population of mice, 5 out of every  100 mice born have white fur, a recessive trait. Calculate the heterozygous frequency for the population. 

A dominant allele, T, codes for the ability to taste the compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). People who are homozygous for the recessive allele, t, are unable to taste PTC. In a genetics class of {y} students, and {x} cannot taste the PTC. You have already calculated the heterozygous and homozygous dominant frequencies. How could you check your answers for for the heterozygous and homozygous dominant frequencies are correct?

The M and N factors are glycoproteins that are found on the surface of red blood cells. Unlike other types of red blood cell antigens, the M and N factors do not cause antibody reactions in human blood transfusions. People with type M blood are homozygous for the M allele, and people with type N blood are homozygous for the N allele. Heterozygous individuals have type MN blood. In a study of a population of Inuit living in the Northwest Territories, 640 people had blood type M, 320 had blood type MN, and 40 had blood type N. Calculate the frequency of the genotypes in the population studied. Show all of the steps to your solutions.
