You study a population of California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getulus californiae). There are two color patterns in the population (banded and striped). This pattern is controlled by one gene. You genotype 150 snakes. Your results are in the table below. Use these data to answer the following questions. Part A: What are the population's observed genotypic frequencies? Part B: What are the allelic frequencies for this gene? Part C: What are your expected genotypic frequencies? Part D:Is this gene in H-W equilibrium? Offer a theory about why it is or is not.
