The correct answer is Tar
Complete question:
A sample of butterflies contained 50% yellow-winged individuals and 50% black-winged individuals. In this species, wing color is determined by a single gene with two alleles, and the allele for black is dominant. Which of the following statements about the allele frequencies in the sample would most likely be true? Do not assume that this sample was obtained from a population in genetic equilibrium.
a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
b)The allele frequency of yellow is 3 times the allele frequency of black.
c)The allele frequency of yellow is twice the allele frequency of black.
d)The allele frequencies of black and yellow are equal.
e) The allele frequency of black is greater than the allele frequency of yellow.
2.Now assume that the population of butterflies sampled in question above is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Also assume that the sample is random and large enough that the allele frequencies in the sample equal the allele frequencies in the population. What is the frequency of the allele for a) yellow wings in the population? Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in question 1, what would the correct answer be and why?
Answer:
- a)The frequency of the yellow allele is greater than that of the black allele.
- f(b) = q = 0.71

Answer:
Population change is 15
Explanation:
To calculate the change in populations, we add up the immigrants and births and the subtract the deaths and emigrant from it
Change in pop = (birth + immigrants) - (death + emigrants).
Where birth is 25, immigrants is 5, death is 10 and emigrants is 5.
Change in pop = (25+5) - (10+5)
= 30-15
Change in population is 15.
