Genetics
In a survey of moths collected from a natural population, a
researcher found 51 dark specimens and 49 light specimens. The dark
moths carry a dominant allele and the light moths are homozygous
for a recessive allele.
(1) If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is
the estimated frequency of the recessive allele in the
population?
(2) How many of the dark moths in the sample are likely to be
homozygous for the dominant allele?
