A hypothetical population of 200 cats has two alleles, TL and TS, for a locus that codes for tail length.
A hypothetical population of 200 cats has two alleles, TL and TS, for a locus that codes for tail length. The table below describes the phenotypes of cats with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Which statements about the population are true?
| Genotype | Phenotype (tail length) |
Number of individuals in population |
| TLTL | long
|
60 |
| TLTS | medium
|
40 |
| TSTS | short
|
100 |

Assuming random mating, each gamete has a 40 \% chance of having a T^{L} allele and a 60 \% chance of having a T^{S} allele.
Assuming random mating, each gamete has a 50 \% chance of having a T^{L} allele and a 50 \% chance of having a T^{S} allele.
Homozygotesmake up 30 \% of the population.
In the entire cat population, 60 \% of the alleles are T^{S}.
In the entire cat population, the frequency of the T^{S} allele is 0.5.
In the entire cat population, the frequency of the T^{L} allele is 0.4
In the entire cat population, 50 \% of the alleles are T^{S}.
Heterozygotes make up 20 \% of thepopulation.
Heterozygotes make up 70 \% of thepopulation.
Homozygotesmake up 80 \% of the population.
