Biology

In a populaiton of Southwestern Jackalopes, you obseve thefollowing numbers of genotypes for the A locus:

AA = 10

Aa = 15

aa = 5

Given these amounts, what are the genotype and allelefrequencies in this population? (please round to 2 significantfigures)

p2 =

2pq =

q2=

p =

q =

Assuming the AA genotype has a fitness of 0.5 (WAA =0.5), what are the expected allele and genotype frequencies in thenext generation?

p =

q =

p2=

2pq=

q2=

Did out population of Southwestern Jackalopes evolve? (yes orno)
