Exercises for Chapter 3: Genetic Concepts and Tools 1) Most of this chapter is conceptual. But let's get some practice with the Hardy-Weinberg principle that underlies most applications of genetic markers. Suppose individuals in a wildlife population are found to suffer a fatal genetic disorder that has a genetic basis, recessive inheritance, and shows up in 1 out of every 400 individuals. We'll assume only 2 alleles and refer to the dominant (normal) allele as F, and to the fatal disorder disease allele as f a) What genotype are the individuals that have the disease? b) What percent of the population suffer from the disease? c) What is the frequency of the fallele? d) What is the frequency of the F allele? e) What percent of the population is a non-affected "carrier" of the allele? f) What percent of the population would be homozygous FF?
