a. Determine what genotype frequencies would you expect to see in the next generation if there is no evolution (ie., the population is at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium)
AA: Aa: aa:
BB: Bb: bb:
b. Why did your prediction for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium conditions predict a change in genotype frequencies for one gene and stability in genotype frequencies for the other gene?
c. You return the next season and in the newborn weasels you measure a distribution of genotypes that looks like this:
5 AA 10 Aa 85 aa
10 BB 80 Bb 10 bb
Did evolution occur for these two loci?
What type of evolution might account for the observed changes?
