Question

information. 12. In a random sample of a population of shorthorn cattle, 73 animals were red (CRcR), 63 were roan, a mixture of red and white (CRC), and 13 were lele freauencies of C and C", and determine whether thepopulation is white (C'C). Estimate the al in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 0.36; because the population 1s arge and a random sample was chosen, the 0.64, Cr population is in equilibrium. 0.7, C 0.3; the genotype ratio is n what would be predicted from these frequen- cies and the population is not in equilibrium. CR 0.7, C0.3; the genotype ratio is what would be predicted from these frequencies and the population is in equilibrium. " 1.04, 0.44; the allele frequencies add up to greater than 1 and the population is not in equilibrium. You cannot estimate allele frequency from this information.

Explanation / Answer

I believe the correct answer to be

CR = 0.7, Cr = 0.3, the genotype ratio is what would be predicted from these frequencies and the population is in equillibrium since the sum of both the frequencies is equa to 1 which is a condition for hardy weinberg equilibrium.
