Nfour o’clock plants, there are three phenotypes for flower color but only two alleles. in one population, q2 = 0.169, and the population is assumed to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. the table below shows the number of plants of each phenotype that are expected in a population of 1,000 plants in the next generation. phenotype number expected red flowers 105 pink flowers 484 white flowers 411 in the next generation, what p value is expected? 0.105 0.411 0.516 0.589

The correct answer would be 0.589

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is p + q = 1

In addition, the frequencies of p and q in a Hardy-Weinberg population remain the same generations over generations.

The value of q⁸ is given as 0.169

So, the value of q = ⇒ 0.411

Thus, the value of p = 1 - 0.411 ⇒ 0.589.

So, the expected value of p would be 0.589

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
