Question
> Within a certain population, there are exactly 2 alleles at the T locus: T and t. Among the
entire population, 30% of the alleles are T. If this population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what
proportions (or percentages, however, you want to express it) will be TT, Tt, and tt? Show work.
In a population, there are 75 TT individuals, 25 Tt individuals, and 250 tt individuals.
What are the frequencies of T and t? Show work.
What are the "expected" numbers of each genotype? Show work.
Ís this population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? (don't do Chi², just compare your answer in
a)
b)
c)
part b io actual and it should be obvious.)
) Assume that, in a population of deer, two alleles exist for eye color. BB deer have blue eyes,
Bb deer have purple eyes, and bb deer have red eyes. Out of a population of 1000 deer, 490 have blue
eyes. You took notes on the amount of red and purple eyed deer, but your notebook fell in the mud and
those numbers are obscured. However, if the population is in HW equilibrium, you can still figure out
the frequency of the B and b alleles. Assuming it is in equilibrium, what are frequencies of the B and b
alleles? Show work!
