Calculate the allele frequencies for the initial population


Assignment task: In this case, initially, there are 60 total individuals in the population; 30 are pink and 30 are purple. After a given time period. data was recollected, and there are now 20 pink ?amingos and 40 purple.

a. State the Null and Alternative hypotheses. Be speci?c.

b. Calculate the allele frequencies for the initial population. Show your work.

c. Calculate the allele frequencies for the final population. Show your work.

d. Expected numbers (e) are based on the starting frequency. Use the allelic frequencies for the initial population and the total number of alleles in the population to calculate the expected number of alleles. Show your work.

e. To get the observed values (0). multiply the ?nal allelic frequencies by the total number of alleles in the population. Show your work.

f. Now that you have both observed and expected values, calculate the Chi-Squared value. Show your work.

g. How does your calculated value compare to the critical value?

h. Form a detailed conclusion based on your Null and Alternative hypotheses. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this gene during this time period?
