In the year 2015, another group of scientists studied the squirrel coat color and found that the population of squirrels had increased. They found 850 squirrels in the same area, of which 115 had a red coat. Assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium. 5A. Show your work to identify the frequency of the recessive allele.
In the 1960s, a population of squirrels (Sciurus carolensis) was being studied in Alabama and the coat color of the squirrels was found to range from the more common gray color (dominant) to the less common red color (recessive). When they sampled an area, they found 536 gray squirrels and 64 red squirrels. Assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 1A. Show your work to find the frequency of the homozygous recessive individuals.
According to the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, within 5% variation of 1) which of the genes in the following three populations is actively undergoing evolution? population 1: AA = 80%; Aa = 10%; aa = 10% population 2: AA = 55%; Aa = 35%; aa = 10% population 3: AA = 25%; Aa = 50%; aa = 25% the gene in populations 1 and 3 are undergoing evolution the gene in populations 1, 2, and 3 are undergoing evolution the gene only in population 1 is undergoing evolution the gene in none of the populations are undergoing evolution

A new population is established using a mating pair. One of the mates expresses two dominant traits, and the other mate carries two recessive traits. After 25 years, the population is sampled again. Which one of the following results best indicates the two traits are linked? Group of answer choices 1. The number of individuals with two dominant traits is similar to the number of individuals with two recessive traits. 2. 50% of the population has two dominant traits or two recessive traits, and the other 50% have a mix of dominant and recessive traits. 3. 34% of the population is D/D, 35% of the population is R/R, 14% of the population is D/R, and 17% of the population is R/D 4. 23% of the population is D/D, 25% of the population is R/R, 26% of the population is R/D, and 26% of the population is D/R
