7. A botanist is investigating a population of plants. She finds 11 plants that are homozygous brown, 35 plants that are homozygous purple, and 174 plants whose petals are heterozygous brown. Brown is dominant to purple. Is this population in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium? a. Frequency of the population that is homozygous recessive. b. Frequency of the population that is heterozygous. c. Frequency of the population that is homozygous dominant. d. Frequency of the dominant allele. e. Frequency of the recessive allele. f. If the population WAS in HWE, what would the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype be? g. If the population WAS in HWE, what would the frequency of the heterozygous genotype be? h. If the population WAS in HWE, what would the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype be? i. Compare answers a-c to f-h. Is this population in HWE? j. If not, which trait is favored? Also, what mode of selection is occurring? 7. A botanist is investigating a population of plants.
