Answer all parts of the question and show your calculations, when applicable, in order to receive full points A botanist is investigating a population of plants whose petal color is controlled by a single gene whose two alleles are codominant. She finds 78 plants that are homozygous red, 226 plants that are homozygous orange, and 242 whose petals are red orange Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Answer 1

546 Total No. individuals given values, Null- hypothesis The population is in Hardy-Weinbey Homozygous Red ERR) = 78. quillibrium. Homozygous oranges (00) = 226 Heterozygous orang-Red (RO)= 242.
