Purple spots is a homozygous recessive genetic trait in martians (assume their hereditary patterns match that of eukaryotes on earth). if 25 in 10,000 martian babies have spots, what are the expected frequencies of the dominant s and recessive s alleles in a population in hardy-weinberg equilibrium.
select one:

a. s = 0.9500, s = 0.0500
b. s = 0.0005, s = 0.9995
c. s = 0.9605, s = 0.0395
d. s = 0.0005, s = 0.0025

a. S = 0.9500, s = 0.0500

Explanation:

if 25 in 10000 have spots, it means there are 500 s allele in the population and 9500 S allele.

the allele frequency is thus;

S = 9500/10000 =0.9500

s = 500/10000 = 0.0500

some scientists like gregory adcock agree with thorne's theory of regional continuity.

others, like chris stringer and ian tattersall, believe thorne's results may be contaminated or misinterpreted.
