The allele for red spots (B) in a certain butterfly species is dominant over the allele for blue spots (b). One population of this species that you’re studying has 500 butterflies, and 237 of them have blue spots.
What is the frequency of the dominant allele (B)?
What is the frequency of the recessive allele (b)?
How many total heterozygous butterflies are there in the population?
Homework Answers
Answer has been attached below
Frequency of B = 0.68
Frequency of b = 0.32
Total heterozygote butterflies ( Bb) = 217

The allele for black spots is dominant over the allele for brown spots in lady beetles....
The allele for black spots is dominant over the allele for brown spots in lady beetles. Of 274 lady beetles observed, 188 had black spots and 86 had brown spots. If this population of lady beetles is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the spot locus, answer the following questions: To receive full marks, please show your work and explain your reasoning. (a) What is the frequency of the allele for brown spots? (1.25 marks) (b) What is the frequency of the...

In wild petunias, the allele for red flower color (R) is dominant over the allele for white flower color (r). We sample a population and find 240 plants have white flowers and 85 have red flowers. If the population is in HWE, what are the allele frequencies of R and r in this population? How many of the 85 plants that have red flowers are homozygous and how many are heterozygous at the flower color locus?

In wild petunias, the allele for red flower color (R) is dominant over the allele for white flower color (r). We sample a population and find 750 plants have white flowers and 270 have red flowers. If the population is in HWE, what are the allele frequencies of R and r in this population? How many of the 270 plants that have red flowers are homozygous and how many are heterozygous at the flower color locus? Show your work and...

Punnet squares and butterflies?
In one species of butterfly, there are alleles for red color and blue color, but neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a butterfly of this species has both of these alleles, its color is purple In some breeds of cows, there are alleles for brown color and white color. Neither of these alleles is dominant over the other. When a cow of one of these breeds has both of these alleles, its...
