Chapter 12, Problem 7WIO

Fraggles are mythical, mouselike creatures that live underground beneath a large vegetable garden. Of the 100 Fraggles in this population, 84 have green fur. and 16 have gray fur. A dominant allele F confers green fur, and a recessive allele f confers gray fur. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equi librium is operating, an swe r the following questions. (a) What is the frequency of the gray allele f? (b) What is the frequency of the green allele F? (c) How many Fraggles are heterozygotes (Ff)? (d) How many Fraggles are homozygous recessive (ff)? (e) How many Fraggles are homozygous dominant (FF)?
