1. Suppose there is a gene that has a functional variant with two alleles D and d in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Further suppose the d allele has a frequency of 0.2 and causes trait Y in a fully penetrant recessive fashion. (Show your calculations below) a) What is the prevalence of individuals with trait Y? b) What is the probability that two people with the trait who mate will have an offspring without the trait? c) Suppose two individuals – who do not have trait Y themselves, but both have offspring from previous marriages that do have the trait – mate and have 4 children. What is the probability that at least one of the children has Y?
