3) What are the Allele Frequencies?

4) Suppose that the frequency of the b allele in the population is .3 .

• What is the frequency of the B allele in the population?

• What is the frequency of cats with genotype bb?

• What is the frequency of cats with genotype BB?

• What is the frequency of cats with genotype bB?

• What is the frequency of cats with genotype Bb?

If p = frequency of first allele, and q = frequency of second allele

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

(Hardy-Weinberg Equation)

Frequency of BB

4) Suppose the frequency of B = .2 . What are frequencies of the three possible genotypes?

frequency (BB) =

frequency (bb) =

frequency (Bb/bB) =

Do Allele Frequencies Change Over Time?

p = .2q = .8
