Lamarck represented the hypothesis that an organism can pass on acquired characteristics during its lifetime to its offspring. This theory was rejected, but nowadays discoveries in the field of epigenetics and somatic hypermutation confirmed part of it and highlighted the possible inheritance of behavioral traits acquired by the previous generation.

Let us assign the dominant allele (that of brown hair) letter R
while
We assign the recessive
allele (that of white hair) letter r
We then note down the
Hardy-Weinburg equation p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
Brown fur population (p2
+ 2pq) = 64% = 0.64
White fur population (q2) = 36% = 0.36
Then we also remember that the frequencies of both allele
add up to 1 (p + q = 1);
Therefore q = ü.36
= 0.6
P = 1 – q = 1 – 0.6 = 0.4
The heterozygous population will be 2*0.6*0.4 = 0.48 = 48%
Homozygous domain population will therefore be (64% - 48%) =
16%
