II. Short Answer 5. In a population of Noumea varians (a nudibranch), a gene that you think regulates the sequestration of a noxious chemical, and that makes this species unpalatable (bad tasting, when eaten by a predator), has two alleles A1 and A2. You think that the A1 allele confers this trait, and is favored by natural selection. Use this sample: Number of individuals AIAI 60 A1A2 98 A2A2 42 to calculate the expected numbers of genotypes under the expectation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Is your answer consistent with this hypothesis? 15 points Please note that for exams you may only bring a non-programmable calculator. II. Short Answer 5.
