Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify th
e gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (TT = 0.56; Tt = 0.28; tt = 0.16) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the T and t. I already know the answer is "No, there are more homozygotes than expected", but I do not understand how to find this answer.

Chromosome mutations often occur due to an error in pairing during the crossing over stage of meiosis. The main types of chromosome mutation include translocation, duplication, deletion, and inversion. Compare point mutation. See also mutation
