Information for question # 21,22, and 23. Allele frequencies ata wing length locus are measured for a natural population of amigratory cricket species as P(A1) = 0.4 and Q (A2) = 0.6. Observedgenotype frequencies in the field population are shown below.Compute the expected frequency of the three genotypes if thepopulation is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium for this locus?
Observed frequency Expected frequency Show your work
A1A1 = 0.28
A1A2 = 0.22
A2A2 = 0.50
21. The expected frequency of the genotypes are:
a) A1A1 =0.25 A1A2 = 0.50 A2A2 = 0.25
b) A1A1 =0.28 A1A2 = 0.22 A2A2 = 0.50
c) A1A1 =0.16 A1A2 = 0.48 A2A2 = 0.36
d) A1A1 =0.36 A1A2 = 0.48 A2A2 = 0.16
e) None of the above
22. Compute the value of the inbreeding coefficient (F) for thispopulation. The inbreeding coefficient is
A) 0 B) 0.043 C) 0.43 D) 0.54 E) 1

So we have been given allele frequency in the question Value for A1 is 04 and for A2 it us 06 Now to calculate expected frequency according to hardy weinberg law the formula is p2 2pq q2 In the question p 04 and q 06 So it becomes 042 2 0406 062 016 048 036 So the expected frequency are A1A1 See Answer
