Chapter 20, Problem 18P

In a population of rabbits, f(C 1 )=0 .70 and f(C 2 )=0 .30 . The alleles exhibit an incomplete dominance relationship in which C 1 C 1 produces black rabbits, C 1 C 2 tan colored rabbits, and C 2 C 2 rabbits with white fur. If the assumptions of the Hardy Weinberg principle apply to the rabbit population, what are the expected frequencies of black, tan, and white rabbits?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what do the terms p2, q2, and 2pq represent, in terms of the genetic structure of a population?
If the chi-square value is 0 under the degree of freedom 1. What could be the interpretation and does it fit in the population of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
(1 point) Humans with the genotypes DD and Dd show the Rh+ blood phenotype, whereas those with the genotype dd show the Rh- blood phenotype. In a sample of 400 Basques from Spain, 230 people were Rh+ and 170 people were Rh-. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg proportions, what is the allele frequency of the allele D? (a) (a) 0.348 (answer) (b) (b) 0.652 (c) (c) 0.425 (d) (d) 0.575 (e) (e) 0.288 2. (2 points) In the Basque population mentioned above, what proportion of the Rh+ individuals would be expected to be heterozygote? (a) (a) 0.454 (b) (b) 0.789 (answer) (c) (c) 0.516 (d) (d) 0.250 (e) (e) 0.500 How is the answer for #2, b? please explain
