Plan to spend 1.5 hours on HWE
- Consider a locus with two alleles, A and B.
The frequency of allele A is 0.36.
What are the frequencies of AA, AB and BB genotypes under
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Answer
-
Consider a locus with two alleles, A and B.
The frequency of allele A is 0.16.
What are the frequencies of AA, AB and BB
genotypes under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Answer
-
Consider a locus with 5 alleles (named from A_1 to A_5).
The frequency of allele A_1 ... A_4 are 0.1666, 0.7158, 0.0473, 0.0616,
respectively.
What are the frequencies of A_1/A_1, A_1/A_2, ... A_5/A_5
genotypes under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Answer
-
A study population is a 3:1 mixture of population A and population B.
Frequncy of the allele of interest is 0.1 in population A and 0.2 is population B. Both populations are under HWE.
- What is allelic frequency in the mixed population? Answer
- What is genotypic distribution in the mixed population? Answer
- What genotypic frequencies would be expected under HWE? Answer
Is it likely that the deviation from HWE due to Wahlund's effect
will be detected?
- In a large population, average inbreeding is 0.03. For a variant with frequency of 0.01, compute HWE frequencies with and without assumption of inbreeding. Answer
Is it likely that the deviation from HWE due to inbreeding will be detected?
