P.G.
The dominant color of the Syrian hamster is golden. Hamsters that are G.G. or Gg show the golden phenotype. Black is the recessive version of the G allele; therefore, its genotype is gg. Black is a mutation of golden that turns all of the hamster’s pigment to black pigment, except the paws and sometimes random chest/chin white markings. Suppose that you sample a population of 444 hamsters. Your sample gave you the following numbers: 128 golden and 316 black. Assume two alleles control that color at a single locus.
Calculate the frequencies of the two alleles assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Calculate the frequencies of the heterozygous genotype, assuming that heterozygotes are golden and that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
You are concerned that this population is tiny and golden hamsters prefer to mate with black hamsters. Use the χ2-test to determine whether this population of hamsters shows any effect of genetic drift or sexual selection. Be sure to state the null and the alternative hypotheses.
