In a population of stick insects, brown color (B) is dominant to green color (b). After sampling 1000 individuals, you find that 810 are green and 190 are brown. Q16.1 Assuming this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many of the brown individuals do you expect to be heterozygous? Show your work for potential partial credit.

You are investigating three species of urchins that all live near Bodega Bay, California: Purple,
Red, and Black. You want to understand what reproductive barriers exist between the Purple
urchin and the other two species. You bring them into the lab, gather gametes from each
species, and produce 100 larvae from each of the matings shown below. You raise these larvae
for one year and count the number of offspring that survive to 2 weeks, 1 month, and 1 year. On
the x-axis are the four time points in order and the y-axis represents the number of individuals
surviving to that age.
