Chapter 23, Problem 23.2CR

Is it circular reasoning to calculate p ond q from observed genotype frequencies and then use those values of p and q to test if the populärior is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Explain your answer.

A population of dragons is as follows: 46 are green with genotype GG 106 are green with genotype Gg 56 are red with genotype gg Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?  Assume 1 degree of freedom for your chi-square test.
Pretend that you are comparing the actual genotype distribution for a population with the distribution of genotypes predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg theorem.  So you hypothesize that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. that actual population data fit the Hardy-Weinberg expectations).  If you carry out chi-square goodness of fit test and calculate a total chi-square value of 0.03 with 1 degree of freedom (see table), what does this mean?
Enumerate the assumptions of Hardy- Weinberg principle.
