There are no mutations, nor are there any entering or leaving the population.

- Please Answer problem number 2 Next, use the Hardy-Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1) to calculate the expected frequencies of genotypes CGCG , CGCY , and CYCY for a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.arrow_forwardImagine that you compared the observed genotype frequencies in a population to the expected genotype frequencies under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using a Chi- squared test and obtained a Chi-squared value of 3.85. If the critical value of the Chi- squared test statistic is 3.81 (at alpha = 0.05), what can you safely conclude about this population: It is evolving It is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium It is undergoing genetic drift It is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium there is not enough information to know anythingarrow_forwardWhat would be the expected number of each genotype (round to the nearest whole number assuming genotype represents an individual) assuming the population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(M1M1) = 0.127 f(M1M2) = 0.390 f(M2M2) = 0.300 f(M1M3) = 0.068 f(M2M3) = 0.105 f(M3M3) = 0.009 Referencing a p-value of 0.05 and a CV of 11.070, state if the population is in HWE.

- A survey of a butterfly population showed that most individuals have blue wing spots. On occasion, some rare yellow-spotted individuals can be found as well. Further genetic studies showed that the colors are controlled by a single gene, with C dominant over c. Also, out of 300 samples, only 27 are yellow and the rest blue. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the allele frequency for the C allele? -0.3 -0.4 -0.6 -0.7 -0.9arrow_forwardUnder Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if a population exists that contains 2 alleles only, each has a respective frequency:p=0.3q=0.7then, after 10 (or 20, or 50, or 100) generations, the resulting frequencies will be?arrow_forwardConsider a gene with two alleles, C and M.
