16. According to the Hardy-Weinberg equation, the genotype frequencies for the three possible combinations of alleles in a population are described by the ratio
p?: 2pq:q?
a) Use this ratio to determine the gehotype frequency in a population where p = 0,7
and 0.3. Show your reasoning (3 points)
Ay Ay
A₂ A2
A₂A₂
b) Assume that A, is a dominant allele that codes for purple leaves and Az is a
recessive allele that codes for white leaves. What will be the frequencies of purple
and white phenotypes in this population? (1 point)
