After a disastrous blizzard, there was a significant increase in the allele frequency of blue eye color in husky dogs. the frequency of alleles for brown-eyed dogs was 7.5% and the allele frequency for hazel-eyed dogs was 22.5% of all alleles for the population. what is the allele frequency percentage for the blue-eyed husky dogs in this population?

Respuesta :

Answer:

frequency of blue eyed husky dogs = 70%

Explanation:

given data

brown eyed dogs = 7.5%

hazel eyed dogs = 22.5%

to find out

allele frequency percentage for the blue eyed husky dogs in this population

solution

we know that total frequency of all the phenotypes should be = 1 or 100%

so when frequency of brown eyed and hazel eyed dogs total =  22.5% + 7.5% = 30 %

so then frequency of blue eyed husky dogs will be

frequency of blue eyed husky dogs = 100% - 30%

frequency of blue eyed husky dogs = 70%

In this case, the allele frequency for the blue-eyed husky allele in the dog's population is equal to 70%.

  • In genetics, an allele is a variant for a given gene locus, which exhibits two or more different forms.

  • In diploid organisms (e.g., dogs), an individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from the mother and the other from the father.

  • The sum of the allele frequencies for all the alleles at a given gene locus must be equal to one (1) or 100%, thereby the sum of the allele frequencies for a gene that has three different alleles must also be 1 (in this case 7.5% + 22.5% + 70% = 100%).

In conclusion, the allele frequency for the blue-eyed husky allele in the dog's population is equal to 70%.
