Suppose a Population of Flour Beetles Has 1,000 Individuals

Multiple Choice

Suppose a population of flour beetles has 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 allele frequencies if a population bottleneck occurred and only four individuals survived: one female red heterozygote and three black males?

A) 0.125 red, 0.875 black
B) 0.875 red, 0.125 black
C) 0.25 red, 0.75 black
D) 0.75 red, 0.25 black
E) 0.5 red, 0.5 black
