Question 12 Panthers are also susceptible to a respiratory infection [feline calicivirus]. Individuals in a population, who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous for genes encoding parasite or pathogen resistance, are more likely to resist an infection or parasite. Currently, population estimates of the Florida panther range from 100 - 160 individuals. Let's assume that the population equals 160. During a particularly bad calicivirus outbreak, 40 Florida panthers die as a result of the infection. Using this information, answer the following questions utilizing the Hardy - Weinberg equation when necessary. a. What is the most likely genotype of the affected panthers that died from the respiratory infection? Use the letter "A" for your symbol. aa b. What percentage of the population is most likely resistant to the calicivirus infection? (40/160)*100 = 25% not resistant C. Using the information given for the inheritance of pathogen resistance, construct a Punnett square crossing a heterozygous individual to a homozygous individual for the pathogen resistance trait. Include a "key" or "legend" describing the pattern of inheritance for the trait, the genotypes of the parents, and the phenotypic percentages of the outcome of the cross. 100%-25%=75% will be resistant

![Question 12
Panthers are also susceptible to a respiratory infection [feline calicivirus]. Individuals in a
population, who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous for genes encoding parasite or
pathogen resistance, are more likely to resist an infection or parasite. Currently, population
estimates of the Florida panther range from 100 – 160 individuals. Let's assume that the
population equals 160. During a particularly bad calicivirus outbreak, 40 Florida panthers die
as a result of the infection. Using this information, answer the following questions utilizing the
Hardy - Weinberg equation when necessary.
What is the most likely genotype of the affected panthers that died from the respiratory
infection? Use the letter "A" for your symbol. aa
b. What percentage of the population is most likely resistant to the calicivirus infection?
(40/160)*100 = 25% not resistant
Using the information given for the inheritance of pathogen resistance, construct a Punnett
square crossing a heterozygous individual to a homozygous individual for the pathogen
resistance trait. Include a "key" or "legend" describing the pattern of inheritance for the trait,
the genotypes of the parents, and the phenotypic percentages of the outcome of the cross.
