Procedure - Bug Population changes when there is not a rim-color breeding preference for bugs (genetic drift) Final Bug Count:

BB Bug Count = 8

Bb Bug Count = 8

bb Bug Count = 4

Final Percentage:

BB Bug % = 40%

Bb Bug % = 40%

bb Bug % = 20%

Blue Rimmed Bug Percentage = 60%

Yellow Rimmed Bug % = 60%

Observations and Questions

[1] Describe the bug population change results during this data run in terms of genotypes and phenotypes.

{2} Is this population consistent with the expectations of the Hardy-Weinberg model, that is, is this population stable? Hint: Under the Background tab, go to the Summary of Formulas Needed for Calculations section, see the example titled Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, then do Step 3 and Step 4 for this data run.

[3] Discuss what your analysis above indicates about the applicability of the Hardy-Weinberg criteria to this population. Which assumptions, if any, of the Hardy-Weinberg criteria are violated?
