Question 1
In a population that meets the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assumptions, 81 percent of the individuals are homozygous for a recessive allele. What percentage of the individuals would be expected to be heterozygous for this locus in the next generation?Question 2
In a population of cattle, the following color distribution was noted: 36 percent red (RR), 48 percent roan (Rr), and 16 percent white (rr). Is this population in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What will be the distribution of genotypes in the next generation if the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions are met?Answer 1
18 percentAnswer 2
Yes, it is in equilibrium. The distribution will be the same in the next generation.
