Analyzing the wing coloration of scarlet tiger moths using genetic data to calculate allele frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium status.
E N D
Quiz of the Day • These data represent wing coloration in the scarlet tiger moth (Panaxiadominula). Coloration in this species results from a single-locus, two-allele system with incomplete dominance. Data for 1612 individuals are given below: • White-spotted (AA) =1484 • Intermediate (Aa) = 108 • Little spotting (aa) = 20 • Calculate the allele frequencies (A and a) and determine if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
