- > Within a certain population, there are exactly 2 alleles at the T locus: T and t. Among the entire population, 30% of the alleles are T. If this population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what proportions (or percentages, however, you want to express it) will be TT, Tt, and tt? Show work. In a population, there are 75 TT individuals, 25 Tt individuals, and 250 tt individuals. What are the frequencies of T and t? Show work. What are the "expected" numbers of each genotype? Show work.

O Organisms acquire traits during their lifetime that alter their phenotype. This allows individuals to better adapt to their surroundings, and to pass on their phenotypes to their offspring regardless of their genes. An organism's phenotype is largely determined by its genes, or genotype. The relationship between an organism's phenotype and its environment determines the frequency of traits in a population. O The relationship between an organism's environment and its genotype determines the type of phenotype it will develop. Phenotypes are largely determined by the environment and organisms display traits that are unrelated to their genes.arrow_forwardList the ways in which evolution can affect population variation and describe how they influence allele frequencies.arrow_forward
