Question 23

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 red and black allele frequencies if 1000 black individuals migrated into the population?


A) 0.75 red; 0.25 black
B) 0.25 red; 0.75 black
C) 0.33 red; 0.67 black
D) They would not change because the population would still be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
E) None of the above
