Explain why you need both the multiplication and addition rules to calculate the
probability that an MN offspring will be produced in a human population
The multiplication rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur
and that mating will produce the target genotype, and the addition rule gives the
total probability of each target genotype, because the matings that produce the
target genotype are mutually exclusive.
The multiplication rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur,
and the addition rule gives the probability that the mating will produce the
target genotype.
The addition rule gives the probability that a particular mating will occur and
that mating will produce the target genotype, and the multiplication rule gives
the total probability of each target genotype.

The Soay sheep of St. Kilda Island near Scotland have changed coat color over the past 20 years, with dark colored sheep declining in frequency and light colored sheep increasing. Coat color is determined by the TYRP1 gene. The TYRP1-T homozygote is light colored, while TYRP1-G homozygotes and heterozygotes are dark. Discuss the hypothesis that assortative mating between sheep with similar coat color is the cause of the increase in light coat color over this period.
What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype if the homozygous genotype frequencies are 0.1385 (BB) and 0.5897 (bb)?
