Question

hardy weinberg question :) medal

Answer 1

In humans, wet or dry earwax is inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion. Wet earwax (W) is dominant over dry earwax (D). Create 20 cards (tear up sheets of paper) with 16 labeled Wet (W) and 4 labeled Dry (D). This represents the gene pool of a particular population. Each card represents an allele.

a) What is the frequency of each allele in this population? W_________, D_________

If the next generation has 20 individuals and the population was under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected number of individuals with WW, WD, and DD genotypes for the next generation (don’t worry about rounding to whole numbers)?
WW_______ WD_______ DD________

What is the expected number of people with wet and dry earwax in this population?
Wet_______ Dry________


For a. i got W as 80% and D as 20% is that right?

Answer 2

it uses a simple algebra, there are like seven criterion to meet

Answer 3

for the second one would i take p^2=.8 so p=0.89 so WW would be 89%?

Answer 4

and then q^2=.2 so q=.45 which would make DD 45%
so 2pq= 2(.89)(.45)=0.80 making WD 80%?

Answer 5

idk if i'm doing this right, any help would be really appreciated!!
