Consider that the gene pool of a certain animal population


Consider that the gene pool of a certain animal population contains just 2 alleles for the gene that controls hair color. If the frequency of the H allele is 0.42, what percent of the population is homozygous for H (i.e. HH)?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 10.7%). Do not include the "%" sign in the box.

If the frequency of the aa genotype is 25%, what is the frequency of the AA genotype? Assume that there are only two alleles (i.e. a and A).

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 10.7%). Do not include the "%" sign in the box.

Assume that in a certain population of giraffes, dark brown spots are dominant to light brown spots. If the frequency of dark brown giraffes is 66%, what is the frequency of the dark brown allele? Hint: the frequency that is provided is the frequency of a specific phenotype (i.e. not a genotype frequency).

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 10.7%). Do not include the "%" sign in the box.

In a non-evolving population of wildflowers, there are 497 individuals with serrated leaves and there are 480 individuals with smooth leaves. If the allele for serrated leaves is dominant to the allele for smooth leaves, what is the expected frequency of the serrated allele?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 10.7%). Do not include the "%" sign in the box.

In a certain breeding population, it is known for certain that only 6.4% of the individuals are "true-breeding" for the dominant phenotype. What would be the predicted frequency of individuals that are "true-breeding" for the recessive phenotype? 

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e. 10.7%). Do not include the "%" sign in the box.
