Question

For Questions 1-2: Data was collected on wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxia dominula). Data for 1612 individuals was gathered as follows: White-spotted (AA) 1469, Intermediate (Aa) 138, Little spotting (aa) 5 D Question 1 3 pts Using the data above, what is the frequency of the A allele? (3 points) 0.50 0.02 0.95 0.05 D Question 2 3 pts Using the data above, what is the frequency of the a allele? (3 points) 0.50 0.02 0.95 0.05 D Question 3 1 pts Darwin postulated that organisms that survive and reproduce successfully have genetic traits aiding survival and reproduction. He called this overall process: Hardy-Weinberg Principle Negative Selection Pressure

Explanation / Answer

1. frequency of A allele = 2* number of AA homozygotes + number of Aa heterozygotes/ 2* total number of individuals

= 2* 1469 + 138/ 2*1612= 0.95

2. frequency of a allele = 2*number of aa homozygotes + number of Aa heterozygotes/ 2* total number of individuals = 2*5 + 138/ 2* 1612 = 0.05

3. he called this overall process survival of fittest measure of reproductive success, an individual contributing fertile offspring to the future geneartions
