Question

9.Tasting PTC is a dominant trait (T), while non-tasting is (t). Below is data from two different classes of BIO 312. Calculate the p and q allele frequencies for the total data of all classes. Carry out a Chi-square analysis to see if the total BIO 312 population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your calculations and explain your answer.

Tip: if you create a table in MS Word, that can be pasted into the answer, as opposed to trying to count spaces to align text.

D.f. 1, critical value of chi2 is 3.841; D.f. 2, 5.991; D.f 3, 7.816; D.f. 4 9.488.
