1.) Consider flower color in a hypothetical population of 7,000 flowers, red flowers (4,000), blue flowers (2,000) are dominant over pink flowers. If there are 1,000 pink flowers, find the following: a. Frequency of dominant (red flower) allele b. Frequency of recessive (pink flower) allele c. Frequency of each genotype (homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, heterozygous) d. Make a Punnett square and use the rule of multiplication.
