The population is evolving because the actual number of individualswith each genotype differs from the expected number of individualswith each genotype.

/in /by
A hypothetical population of 300 wolves has two alleles, FB and FW, fora locus that codes for fur color. The table below describes the phenotype of a wolf with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Which statements accurately describe the population of wolves?

Genotype Phenotype
(fur color)		 Number of individuals
in population
FBFB black

 40
FBFW gray

 40
FWFW white

 220

Select all that apply.
  • The population is evolving because the actual number of individualswith each genotype differs from the expected number of individualswith each genotype.
  • Based on theequation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number ofwolves with the F^{B} F^{W} genotype is 96.
  • The population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
  • Based on theequation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number ofwolves with the F^{B} F^{W} genotype is 40.
  • Based on theequation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number ofwolves with the F^{B} F^{B} genotype is 12
  • The population is not evolving because it is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
  • Based on theequation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number ofwolves with the F^{B} F^{B} genotype is 40 .
