two alleles (brown, b and white, b) exist for mouse coat color. in a population of mice whose gene pool consists of 500 alleles, 301 of these alleles are brown. calculate the allele frequencies for

Sagot :

in a population of mice whose gene pool consists of 500 alleles, 301 of these alleles are brown the allele frequencies for

p = 301/500 = .602

q = 199/500 = .398

At a specific genomic region, an allele is one of two or more variations of the DNA sequence (a single base or a segment of nucleotides). For each genomic region with such variation, an individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent. The person is homozygous for the allele if the two alleles are the same. The person is heterozygous if the alleles are distinct from one another.The term "allele" is used to refer to a gene's alternate form or variants. For each autosomal gene, one allele is inherited from each parent, and we often group the alleles into categories. Usually, we refer to them as normal, wild-type, aberrant, or mutant alleles.
