Question

Q1: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if three of the homozygous black allele mice (having two black alleles) were heterozygous (having one white and one black allele) instead? Q2: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the white mice died and were therefore removed from the population? Would the black-fur-pigment allele frequency be affected? If so, how? Q3: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the gray mice died and were therefore removed from the population?

Because there are 15 mice, the
gene pool has 30 allele possibilities
(15 mice x 2 alleles per mouse).
Rectangular Snip
Of the 30 total alleles in this
population, 13 are white-fur-pigment
alleles, so the white-allele frequency
is 13/30 - 0.43, or 43%.
17/30 - 57%
0000000000000
13/30 - 43%
