SHORT ANSWER AND PROBLEM SOLVING: (11) 1. Rabbits who live in the snowy Himalayan mountains are either white or brown. The brown color is due to a recessive (w) allele while the white color is governed by a dominant allele (W). The Inheritance of this gene follows the rule of complete dominance. You are interested in the evolution of this population. You count the number of rabbits in the population of 150. There are 100 individuals who are homozygous dominant, 40 who are carriers, 10 brown rabbits. A) What is the allele frequency of the dominant W allele in this population? What is the allele frequency of the recessive w allele in this population? Include your calculations in your answer and round to 2 decimals. B) Considering ONLY probabilities involving white rabbits in the population, what is the probability of two cousin rabbits having a child who is brown? Show your calculation. C) After a decade, this same population is being analyzed once again. You count 500 rabbits. Genotypically, 340 are homozygous dominant and 140 are heterozygous for this gene. Phenotypically 20 are brown. Using appropriate calculations and the Chi-Square table, demonstrate whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
