A population of lab rats recently escaped into the sewer system of Washington, D. C. A brave researcher sampled this population and estimated the following phenotypic frequencies (which were caused by a single gene with two alleles: E and e). 61% normal eyes (EE)
26% cross-eyed (Ee)
13% blind (ee)
If this population were to reach a Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) in one generation, what would the phenotypic frequencies be in that new HWE generation? Let freq (e)=p and freq (e)=q. (Tip first calculate p and q from the observed, and provided, phenotypic frequencies)
freq EE =
freq Ee =
freq ee =
