Snow geese (Chen caerulescens) come in two color types, white “snows” and “blues” with dark bodies. A single gene controls coloration, where the dark (“blue”) allele (D) is dominant.   Researchers using genetic testing are able to determine the following numbers of individuals of each genotype in another population of geese: DD = 10576, Dd = 14503, dd = 4922.   -What is the actual frequency of genotype Dd? -According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of genotype Dd, dd -According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected number of individuals of genotype DD?
