A hypothetical population of 200 cats has two alleles. T^L and T^S, for a locus

Question

A hypothetical population of 200 cats has two alleles. T^L and T^S, for a locus that codes for tail length. The table below describes the phenotypes of cats with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Which statements about the population are true? Select the five statements that are true. Heterozygotes make up 20% of the population. Homozygotes make up 80%, of the population Homozygotes make up 30% of the population In the entire cat population, 60% of the allies are T^S. In the entire cat population, the frequency of the T^S allele is 0.5. In the entire cat population, the frequency of the T^L allele is 0.4. Assuming random mating, each gamete has a 50% chance of having a T^L allele and a 50% change having a T^S allele. Assuming random mating each gamete has a 40% chance of having a allele and a 40% chance of having a T^L allele and 60% chance of having a T^S allele.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

Option 1:- true heterozygotes make 20% population

Exp:-40/200x100 = 20%

Option 2 :_ true homozygotes make 80% pop.

Exp :_ 160/200x100 = 80%

Options 4,is true 60% of alles are Ys (40+200)=240/400*100 = 60%
