You are studying an isolated population of irises on an island off the coast of Maine. Plants in this population exhibit three different phenotypes for stem hair. ShSh plants are hairy, SsSs plants are smooth, and ShSs plants have intermediate amounts of stem hair. After characterizing stem phenotypes for a sample of the population, you classify 450 plants as having hairy stems, 701 as having intermediate hairy stems, and 112 as having smooth stems. Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with respect to stem hair? 117 YES NO

Question
You are studying an isolated population of irises on an island off the coast of Maine. Plants in this
population exhibit three different phenotypes for stem hair. ShSh plants are hairy, SsSs plants are
smooth, and ShSs plants have intermediate amounts of stem hair. After characterizing stem
phenotypes for a sample of the population, you classify 450 plants as having hairy stems, 701 as
having intermediate hairy stems, and 112 as having smooth stems.
Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with respect to stem hair? ___YES______NO
