Problem Solving- Lecture 9/2/21

Question 1

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Answer 1

p2+2pq+q2=1

Wild type allele= p~1
Mutated allele= q

Question 2

Probability of normal sibling with a recessive disease being a carrier

Answer 2

2/3

Question 3

Calculating chance of having autosomal recessive condition

Answer 3

(Chance that mom is a carrier)x(chance that dad is a carrier)x(Chance the mom passes on allele)x(Chance dad passes on allele)
