Question

In a species of mouse, tail length is controlled by genes at a single locus, with the long tail allele dominant to the short tail allele. A population has 44 long tail and 36 short tail mice, with 27 of the long tail mice having a homozygous dominant genotype. Is this population in equilibrium? Calculate p and q from the number of individuals of each genotype: p = _____ q = _____ Calculate the expected frequency of each genotype if the population is in equilibrium: _____ = Frequency of homozygous dominant individuals _____ = Frequency of heterozygous individuals _____ = Frequency of homozygous recessive individuals Calculate the expected number of individuals of each genotype in a population of 80 mice if the gene is in equilibrium: _____ = Number of homozygous dominant individuals _____ = Number of heterozygous individuals _____ = Number of homozygous recessive individuals Test how well your data fits the expected values from the equilibrium model: _____ Chi-square test statistic ______ P value _____ (y/n) in equilibrium?
