A population of beetles exhibits two phenotypes: red and blue. The genotypes RR and Rr result in red coloration and the genotype rr results in blue coloration. The alleles are equally prevalent (i.e. both frequencies are 0.5). A new predator is introduced and preferentially feeds on blue beetles. What do you expect to happen to the allele frequencies over time? The frequency of the rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. The frequency of the Rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. There is not enough information to predict what will occur. There will be no change because of the Hardy-Weinberg equilbrium.

Huntington’s Disease A population of people has a gene that determines whether they will developHuntington’s disease. The gene has two alleles, ”N” for normal allele and ”h” for the Huntington’s allele.According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the ”h” allele in the population is 0.005. Part AWhat is the frequency of the ”N” allele in the population?Part BWhat is the expected proportion of people in the population who are carriers of the Huntington’s disease?Part CWhat is the expected proportion of people in the population who are non-carriers of the Huntington’s disease?Part DWhat is the expected proportion of people in the population who will develop Huntington’s disease?
In a species of lily, the color of the flower's petals is determined by a dominant purple allele (F) or recessive white allele (f). One hundred flowers in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were sampled, and only 15% of the population showed the phenotype of white. Which of the following numbers represents the calculated value of the recessive white allele frequency? 0.92 0.39 0.15 0.85

Color in McIver beetles is determined by two alleles at one gene locus. McIver beetles must have a heterzygous genotype (genotype A1A2) in order to have a brown color phenotype. Calculate the frequency of the brown beetles in the population if the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.6.
