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 b/b. Red is dominant to black, so B/B and B/b genotypes are red. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with equal frequencies of the two alleles.
-What would be the expected frequencies of the homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive after 100 generations?

A) 0.75; 0.20; 0.05
B) 0.25; 0.5; 0.25
C) All red, because it is the natural color.
D) All black, because all red alleles would mutate to black.
E) None of the above
