Population Genetics - Grade 12

6. Suppose that in a fruit fly population the frequency of the recessive allele that codes for short wings (l) is 0.10. What would be the expected homozygous dominant genotype frequency in the next generation? The population is not evolving. Round the answer to two decimal places

7. In a pea plant population, the dominant allele for tallness (T) has a frequency of 0.23. What percent of the population would be expected to be heterozygous (Tt) for the height gene? 2 marks

(Record your answer using 3 significant digits. Do not include the percentage symbol.)

8. In a randomly mating population of mice, 5 of every 100 mice born have white fur, a recessive trait. Calculate the frequency of the allele (G) in the population.   1 mark


Please show/walk me through your answers if possible.. Really stuggling with this!!
