. Two Siamese and three Persian cats survive a shipwreck and are carried on the wreckage to a previously uninhabited tropical island. In cats, the allele for normal ears (F) is dominant, while the allele for folded ears (f) is recessive. Four of the five cats have normal ears, while one has folded ears. 5 pts total a) What are the frequencies of F and f alleles in this population of cats? Please show your work for all problems. b) What are the frequencies of the FF, Ff, and ff genotypes in the population? c) If you assume that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i. e., not evolving), how many cats would you expect to have folded ears once the population reaches 20,000 cats?
