Problem:
In a bottomland hardwood forest, there is a population of 5000 Timber Rattlesnakes. 2500 Timber Rattlesnakes that are homozygous dominant (RR) for a bright orange color that runs down the vertebral column. 1500 are heterozygous (Rr) for a pale yellow color. 1000 Timber Rattlesnakes that are homozygous recessive (rr) for no color down the vertebral column.
Based on this information, answer the following questions.
Question: What is the genotypic frequency for RR?
Question: What is the genotypic frequency for Rr?
Question: What is the genotypic frequency for rr?
Question: What is p (I am looking for a number)?
Question: What is q (I am looking for a number)?
Question: Is this population evolving?
Explain thoroughly.
