Based on the initial starting population, use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to predict the future bug population phenotype composition. Hint: Use the initial starting population for this data run.


Starting population:

BB = 10

bb= 10


Final count after experiment:

BB = 0

Bb = 4

bb = 16

Answer:

B quality is bugs controls the quantity of eyes. The predominant allele, B, is answerable for 2 eyes and the latent allele, b, is dependable dor 3 eyes.  

At first, the populace is absolutely homozygous, homozygous prevailing (BB) and homozygous latent (bb). All bugs will have either 2 (BB) or 3 (bb) eyes.  

In any case, after the test, the populace ends up being homozygous latent (bb) and heterozygous predominant (Bb). The genotype changes, however the phenotype continues as before, either 2 eyes (Bb) or 3 eyes (bb).

If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, its allelic and genotypic frequencies will remain the same through many generations. The expected phenotypic frequencies are BB + Bb = 0.51 / bb = 0.49.

-----------------------------

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory states that the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q. Assuming a diallelic gene,  

  • p is the frequency of the dominant allele,  
  • q is the frequency of the recessive allele.  

The genotypic frequencies after one generation are

  • (H0m0zyg0us dominant genotypic frequency),  
  • 2pq (Heter0zyg0us genotypic frequency),  
  • (H0m0zyg0us recessive genotypic frequency).  

If a population is in H-W equilibrium, it gets the same allelic and genotypic frequencies generation after generation.

The addition of the allelic frequencies equals 1

p + q = 1

The sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

We know that the starting population has 20 individuals.

  • 10 of them are BB ⇒ frequency = 0.5
  • the other 10 are bb ⇒ frequency = 0.5

These are the genotypic frequencies at the starting population.

Now, we need to get the allelic frequencies.

To get the allelic frequency - f(b)-, we will use the recessive genotypic frequency, F(bb).

F(bb) = q² = 0.5

f(b) = q = √0.5 = 0.707 ≅ 0.7

So, q = 0.7

We will get the dominant allelic frequency, f(B) = p, by crealing the following equation,

p + q = 1

p + 0.7 = 1

p = 1 - 0.7

p = 0.3

So, up to here we have

  • p = 0.3
  • q = 0.7

Let us calsulate genotypic frequency after one generation

  • F(BB) = p² = 0.3² = 0.09
  • F(Bb) = 2pq= 2 x 0.3 x 0.7 = 0.42
  • F(bb) = q² = 0.7² = 0.49

The expected phenotypic frequencies are

  • BB + Bb = 0.09 + 0.42 =  0.51
  • bb = 0.49
