Question

A hypothetical population of 500 cats has two alleles, T and t, for a gene that codes for tail length. The table below presents the phenotype of cats with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Assume that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
a. What is the frequency of cats with long tails in the population?
b. What is the frequency of cats with short tails in the population?
c. What is the frequency of cats that are homozygous dominant in the population?
d. What is the frequency of the T allele in the gene pool of this population?
e. What is the frequency of the t allele in the gene pool of this population?

Answer 1

Answer:0.16

q^2 = 80/500 = 0.16
