Unit 3 AGB Quiz

1. Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

2. The Chillingham cattle in England represent an example of which genetic phenomenon?

3. In a population of cattle, the frequency of the dominant allele A is 0.7. What is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) in this population?

4. If the frequency of a recessive allele (q) in a population is 0.3, what is the frequency of heterozygous individuals?

5. Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

6. In a population of cattle, a mutation in the myostatin gene leads to double-muscling. This is an example of which type of mutation?

7. The Chillingham cattle in England represent an example of which genetic phenomenon?

8. A veterinarian is studying the inheritance of a recessive genetic disorder in a breed of dogs. If the frequency of affected dogs is 0.04, what is the frequency of carriers in the population?

9. In a population of 1000 cows, coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. The dominant allele R produces red coat color, while the recessive allele r produces white coat color. If there are 640 red cows, what is the frequency of the r allele?

10. A population of sheep experiences migration, changing the frequency of allele A from 0.5 to 0.55 in one generation. If the migration rate is 0.1, what was the frequency of allele A in the migrant population?
