Peppered moths are dark-colored when they carry the dark (D) allele, and light-colored when they are homozygous for the recessive (d) allele. A geneticist collected a population of 50 peppered moths, and found that 18 were dark (DD or Dd) and 32 were light (dd).

A drawing of the light form (dd) and the dark form (Dd or Dd) of the peppered moth is shown.

What are the allele frequencies for the alleles in this population? Assume that the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium apply.

A. D = 0.20; d = 0.80
B. D = 0.50; d = 0.50
C. D = 0.25; d = 0.75
D. D = 0.36; d = 0.64

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
