1a) In a population of 800 squirrels, the gene for white paws is recessive to the dominant allele which codes for brown paws. There are 200 squirrels that have white paws in the population. How many squirrels in the population are homozygous dominant for this allele? Assume that the population is in H.W. equilibrium for this allele. 1b) In a population of dandelions the frequency of the recessive allele that codes for long petals is .2 (20%). What proportion of the population is homozygous for the recessive allele? Assume the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for this allele.
Hello, I need help answering number 21(INCLUDING THE SUB-PARTS) true or false questions. Pls and thank you! 20. A.) T / F: Synonymous and non-synonymous mutations mainly evolve via purifying natural selection. B.) T / F: Stabilizing selection acts on the phenotypic variance of a trait without necessarily changing the mean phenotype. C.) T / F: Founder effects are the result of a genetic bottleneck during colonization of a new location.

1) In smurfs, blue tails are dominant to red tails. You observe the following distribution in a smurf population: 214 blue tailed individuals genotype BB 37 blue tailed individuals genotype Bb 19 red tailed individuals genotype bb Is this population in HW equilibrium for the blue tail gene? Show your work. If the population is not in HW equilibrium, what might me causing the disequilibrium?
Hi, I needed help with this question. (Attached) Directions: Heterozygosity – the presence of two, unlike alleles at a single gene in a diploid individual. Observed Heterozygosity (Ho) – the observed number of heterozygotes in a population Expected or Panmictic Heterozygosity (He) – the number of heterozygotes in a population of a given allele frequency composition if we assume Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Inbreeding coefficient (F) – a measure of the heterozygote deficit in a population, where F = (He – Ho)/He
