Hardy-Weinberg Assignment I

1. The frequency of the A allele is .65 in the Mad Hatter population of squirrels.  What is the frequency of the different genotypes in the Mad Hatter population?

2. There are 1260 squirrels in the Mad Hatter population.  How many are heterozygous for the A allele?

3. A population of finches lives on one of the Galapagos Islands. 76 have the CC genotype, 82 have the Cc genotype and 22 have the cc genotype.  What is the frequency of the C allele in this population?

4. A population of 210 snow leopards in Afghanistan have an unusual light gray coat color that is due to the homozygous recessive allele "g".  The frequency of this allele is .1.  How many snow leopards have this allele?

5. In a study of 4550 fruitflies, scientists found that the frequency of the F allele was .8.  What was the number of fruitflies that made up the different genotypes?
