Q1. A population has two alleles for eye color B =
Brown and b = blue, but heterozygous individuals
(Bb) have green eyes. If 5 individuals have brown
eyes, 8 have blue eyes and 37 have green eyes.
1.1. What are the allelic frequencies of this
population?
1.2.Given these frequencies what are the expected
genotypic frequencies?
1.3. Using a chi-square test is this population in
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium? Show your work.
1.4. If not, give a specific reason why they are not in
HWE. (ie not just that it violates an assumption)
