Question

QUESTION The Hardy-Weinberg equations help you estimate underlying genotypes, by observing phenotypes. magine that there are 100 mice. 75 have the dominant (brown) phenotype. 25 have the recessive (white) phenotype. What is the first term in the Hardy-Weinberg equation that you calculate? It's the ONLY term you could possibly calculate at the very beginning. The powerpoint I gave you is the best resource for this question. O p2 O o? QUESTION 2 If I tell you that the frequency of the dominant allele in a population is 0.6, then calculate Q Use the powerpoint to help you. If you know what allthe terms in the Hardy-Weinbers equations mean, then this is an extremely simple math probiem O 0.2 O 0.36

Explanation / Answer

I believe the correct answers to be

Answer 1) C) Q2 as this is the frequency of the recessice white mouse which is very clear while the number of brown mice contain both homozygous and hetrozygous mouses.

Answer 2) The answer shoud be 0.4 based on the fact that the sum of frequencies of P and Q are always 1. So, 1-006=0.4.
