Question

please explain the answer

On the island of Bilago, on the Planet Ceti Alpha 6, there lives a population of armadiles (cross between an armadillo and a crocodile). A portion of these armadiles have small teethc as a result, they are vegetarian. Tooth size is determined by a single autosomal locus with two alleles: T (trait allele) and t (wild type allele). In a recent study. researchers collected the values in the following table: Table 1. Counts of armadile tooth sizes by genotype Phenotype Small teeth 50 20 Genotype Standard size (wild type) teeth 20 18 The T allele frequency in this population is o.72, and the genotypes are in Hardy Weinberg proportions at the locus In a mating of two armadiles each of whom is heterozygous Tt. what is the expected proportion of offspring that will have small teeth? O A 0.547 O8.0.477 С.О. D. 0.523 E. 0.909
