- A different locus codes for drought tolerance in desert tortoises. On average during a drought, genotype AA produces 7 offspring, genotype AB produces 8 offspring, and genotype BB produces 3 offspring. The genotype frequencies in 2019 are 10% AA, 10% AB, and 80% BB. What is the expected equilibrium allele frequency p* after a large number of generations go by during the drought? Assume the tortoise population is also very large.arrow_forwardIn a dense forest, a population of squirrels has been observed for their fur color. The fur color is determined by a single gene with two alleles: B (black) and b (brown). In a sample of 100 squirrels, you observed 30 black (BB), 50 black-brown (Bb), and 20 brown (bb) individuals. Determine if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and show your work.arrow_forwardFor three simulated populations, if the starting frequency of the A allele is small (say 0.05) but the effective population size is large (say 1000), after 200 generations, what is the likelihood that the A allele will be fixed in the population?arrow_forward
- A certain plant population has 289 individuals, some berry white flowers, other red flowers. The red allele is dominant over the white allele, of the 289 plants, 246 havve red flowers. Assuming the population is in equilibrium; i) What is the frequency of the white allele ii)How many of the red plants are expected to be heterozygous?arrow_forwardIf the frequency of the recessive allele for a gene is 0.5, calculate the expected frequency of heterozygotes in the next generation if the population is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. O 0.25 0.48 O 0.75 O 0.5arrow_forwardIn peas, purple flowers (P) is dominant over white flowers (p). In a population of 200 plants, 102 are purple. If the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the purple allele? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- answer choices: a) all in cm- 10, -3, 3, 13, 16 b) disruptive selection, stabilizing, directional c) the answer choices for c are in the imagearrow_forwardThrough PCR, we have determined the PER3 genotypes for a class of students as follows: H4/H4 = 125 individuals; H4/H5 = 90 individuals and H5/H5=85 individuals. Using the allele frequencies experimentally derived, calculate the frequency of the H4/H5 genotype that would be expected if the class were a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 1- 0.43 2- 0.24 3- 0.49 4- 0.30 5- 0.57 6- 0.14 7- 0.19arrow_forwardYou return to the meadow a year later and find that the population has been reduced to 5,200 butterflies but this smaller population still contains 1,250 black-winged butterflies (bb). What is the new value for q? (Hint: you can calculate q since you know the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype. You will need a calculator for this particular problem.)

In an ideal rabbit population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, if allele b has a frequency of 0.33, what percentage of the population is heterozygous for this trait?
