A population of 4000 butterflies at hardy- weinberg


1-A population of 4,000 butterflies at Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium contains 360 indviduals with bentantennae- a recessive phenotype ( genotype aa). What is the frequency of the recessive allele

(a) in the population after 6generation?

b) Would you expect the sample aboveto be representative of the wild population of shrimp at large?
