a.
To describe: What is surprising about the observed number of two-locus genotypes.
Introduction: In two-locus genotype, four different types of alleles are included to form differentgenotypes. In this problem, there are two alleles A1 and A2, which are located at one locus and B1 and B2 are located on the second locus.
b.
To explain: Whether each locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or not.
Introduction: If the value of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is equal to one, it means that the locus is atHardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the value exceeds 1, it shows that there is an excess of homozygous genotypes. On the other hand, if the value of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is less than 1, it says that there is an excess of heterozygous genotypes.
c.
To explain: Whether the two loci are close to one another, or far apart in the genome.
Introduction: Loci are just sites on the chromosome from which some portion of gene interchange with the segment of another chromosome during crossing over and recombination.
