Part 4: Peppered Moth Allele and Gene Frequencies
The dark allele in peppered moths is dominant (B= p). Light moths are
homozygous recessive (bb= q²). Use the data from Table 1 in Lab 1 to calculate
the allele and genotype frequencies for peppered moths in year 1 and year 10.
Year 1 data: 556
64
q² = frequency of bb (light) =
_;q=
frequency of the dominant allele B is p = 1 -q; p = 1
Calculate genotypic makeup of the population.
[0.054 (p) + 0.946_(q)]²= 1; 0.232 _(p²) +
Genotypic frequencies are:
_light moths,__
0.896
dark moths
0.946
0.946
0.054
0.102 (2pq) + 0.896_(q²) = 1]
p² = frequency of BB (dark)
2pq = frequency of Aa (dark)_
q² = frequency of aa(light)
