Case Scenario: A flower can be found with either red or yellow petals, and a single gene is responsible for determining what protein is produced to make the color. The gene comes in two forms: a dominant 6 allele and a recessive 9 allele. Flowers with a G allele are always yellow. 2,000 flowers were sampled, and the frequency of red flowers was 0.3025. Assume the gene meets the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
1. What was the frequency of g?
2. What was the frequency of G?
3. What was the frequency of 99?
4. What was the frequency of 69?
5. What was the frequency of 66?
6. How many homozygous dominant flowers were in the population?
7. How many heterozygous flowers were in the population?
8. How many homozygous recessive flowers were in the population?
9. If a scientist came back to this population 30 years later and found a change in allele or genotype frequencies, what conclusion should be made?
