Step 1
Blue = rr (recessive), so red phenotype must be RR or Rr. Also given RR = 20. Show more…

A table of data is shown below for a single population of beetles. The gene is present in three different allelic forms in this population. The number of individuals having each genotype was counted in 2002 and 10 years later in 2012. Number of individuals in 2002 Genotype AAI 194 AIA 152 AIA 150 Total number of individuals in the population 496 Number of individuals in 2012 Genotype AAI 264 AIA 119 AIA 458 Total number of individuals in the population 841 Calculate the allele frequencies for each of the three alleles in the population. Convert these data into a graph of allele frequencies.

Part I. Basic Hardy-Weinberg calculations 1. Calculating Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a population. a. The photo below represents a population of 25 individuals where I blindly draw out pairs of alleles to simulating random mating. Population A b. Assign a genotype to each individual (RR, Rr or rr) and calculate up the genotype frequencies of your population by dividing the total number of each genotype by the population size (25record your answers on the posted worksheet. c. Calculate the allele frequencies of your population by dividing the total number of each allele by the total number of alleles in the population (50) or by using the equations above.

Imagine a colorful population of insects. Out of 600 individuals in the population, 13% are red, 45% are purple, and the remaining are blue. Red coloration is caused by homozygosity of the R allele at a single locus; blue coloration is caused by homozygosity of the B allele at that locus; heterozygotes are purple. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus? Show all work. Answer: Observed (actual) numbers of each genotype: Observed (actual) allele frequencies: Expected (predicted under HWE) number of each genotype: Chi-square test: Show all work. χ² = Σ (Oᵢ - Eᵢ)² / Eᵢ
