Transcribed Image Text:At the very end of their feet, bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) have four talons. These talons are used to
grab and carry prey. Within a given H. leucocephal
and 1,183 have small talons (t). The allele for large talons (T) is dominant to the allele for small talons (t).(
pulation of 1,820 individuals, 637 have large talons (T)
a. What is the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles?
b. What percentage of the population has small talons? What percentage has largetalons?
C. What percentage of the population is heterozygous?
d. In the following generation of H. leucocephalus, 58% of the population has large talons, and 42% has
small talons. Did evolution occur between the first and second generations? Or is the population in
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (H.W.E)? Explain.
