Insects of a non-native species blow into Atlanta as a result of a recent hurricane and populate Georgia State University campus. For a gene that controls pigmentation in these insects, the allele responsible for dark color is completely dominant to the allele responsible for light color. A student conducting undergraduate research in Biology is interested in characterizing this species and manages to catch a total of 380 dark-colored and 120 light-colored insects for further study back in the lab. Based on this information, a) What is the frequency of the light allele in this population? Answer in Blank #1. Final answer should be a percentäge rounded to the nearest ones. (For example, for . the decimal value of 0.2468, this is 24.68%, so final answer is 25%.) b) If this population of insects were in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many insects are expected to be heterozygous? Answer in Blank #2. Final answer should be a whole number rounded to the nearest ones. (For example, for a value of 135.79, the final nswer is 136.) Finai answers must be entered online.
