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. Observed genotype frequencies in the fieldpopulation are shown below. Compute the expected frequency of thethree genotypes if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibriumfor this locus?  

                                     Observedfrequency                  Expectedfrequency       Showyour work

             A1A1     =          0.28                  

             A1A2     =          0.22                  

             A2A2  =             0.50                  

21. The expected frequency of the genotypesare:            

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 - CORRECT ANSWER

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 - CORRECT ANSWER   

E) 1

23. Based on your calculation is there evidence for assortativemating in this population?

a)Yes                           b)No                c)  Notenough information

I just need help with number 23, PLEASE explain how you got theanswer!

Thank you!
