Multiple Choice
Use the following to answer questions :
Suppose you have a population of flour beetles with 1,000 individuals.Normally the beetles are red;however,this population is polymorphic for a mutant autosomal body color,black,designated by bb.Red is dominant to black,so BB and Bb genotypes are red.Assume the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,with equal frequencies of the two alleles.
-What would be the expected frequencies of the homozygous dominant,heterozygous,and homozygous recessive (in that order) after 100 generations,assuming that no selection or other evolutionary processes are operating?
A) 0.75;0.20;0.05
B) 0.25;0.5;0.25
C) 0.33;0.33;0.33
D) All red,because it is the natural color
E) All black,because all red alleles would mutate to black
