Suppose that gene B occurs in a unicorn population where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 allele is 0.4. What is the frequency of the B3 allele, assuming that there are only 3 alleles in the population? O The frequency of B3 = 0.1 because 0.5 +0.4+ B3 = 1. O The frequency of B3= (0.4)2 = 0.16 O The frequency of B3= 0.9 because 0.5 +0.4 = 0.9 O There is not enough information to determine the frequency of the B3

Suppose 40 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele.

Building on the results from this experiment, scientists decide to test the effect of varying the initial amount of NH3 on monomer formation. They set up the same simulation with the exception of starting with three different
