Please answer the following question form the Image provided:
EXERCISE 6 HARDY-WEINBERG EQUILIBRIUM
In human
population X, consider the simple Mendelian trait for freckles. F is the
dominant allele and fis the recessive allele. Individuals who are
homozygous dominant (FF) or heterozygous (Ff) for the trait express
freckles. Individuals who are homozygous recessive (ff) for the trait do not
express freckles. In this population, 30% (0.3) of the alleles are recessive (f
) and 70% (0.7) are dominant (F).
1. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the genotype
frequencies we should expect in the next generation. Be sure to show
your work.
2. You have collected data on the observed genotype frequencies of the
next generation. They are 60% FF, 30% Ff, and 10% ff. Based on these
observations and your expectations, is this trait currently evolving in
this population? Why or why not?
