What is procedure in practice of kin selection work?
You observe some bark beetles with different feeding behaviors. You find that the behavioral phenotypes you observed are closely associated with the following genotypes.
genotype
phenotype
number observed
BB
feeds under bark
60
Bb
feeds on top of bark
24
bb
feeds on leaves
16
a) What are the allele frequencies and the expected number (out of 100 beetles) of genotypes?
b) Calculate the Chi-Squared value (c2). Then look up the p-value using this Chi-squared calculator: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data//chi-square-calculator.html
Enter “1” for Degrees of Freedom. (There are 3 genotype categories, but only 1 DF because they are not fully independent—calculated from just 2 allele frequencies). The p-value is the probability that you would see the deviance you observed by chance, assuming the null hypothesis is true). Report both values. Is the population in H-W equilibrium?
c)
If you answered “No” to b): Provide at least three biologically…

b) Calculate the Chi-Squared value (c2). Then look up the p-value only using this Chi-squared calculator: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data//chi-square-calculator.html
Clear all the values in the box at upper right, enter the Chi Square value that you obtain FROM YOUR CALCULATIONS in the Chi-Square box, and enter 1 for the degrees of freedom. Is the population in H-W equilibrium?
c)
If you answered “No” to b): Provide at least three biologically valid reasons why the observed beetle population may not be in equilibrium.
If you answered “Yes” to b): Why do you think this…
