A zoologist is investigating a population of squirrels whose coat color is controlled by a single gene whose two alleles (B1 & B2) are co-dominant. B1B1 individuals are black, B1B2 individuals are brown, and B2B2 are tan. She surveys the population and finds 600 black squirrels, 256 brown squirrels, and 112 tan squirrels. Is this population in HWE? If not, what might explain this pattern? Make sure to show your work.

    The coat color gene of a population of squirrels is defined by a dominant allele G, which encodes a gray coat, and a recessive allele g, which encodes a black coat. In a population, genetic typing reveals the genotypic distribution to be 50 GG, 30 Gg, and 20 gg. If this population is in equilibrium, then what should the genotypic frequency of Gg squirrels in this population be? 0.52 0.46 0.42 0.55

    #1. In peas, flower location and plant height are controlled by genes that follow Mendel’a law. One allele at each locus is donminat to the other at that locus: (i) AXIAL FLOWERS (A), terminal flowers (a), and (ii) TALL PLANT (T), short plant (t). A pure breeding plant for the dominant traits is mated with pure breeding plant for the recessive traits. What possible gametes can F1 individuals that interbreed make?
