A population geneticist studying bird populations in the Amazon is trying to determine if a locus known to give bright plumage is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium.  Below is their observed and expected genotype frequencies. Genotypes Observed Frequencies Expected Frequencies AA (red plumage) 0.42 0.41 Aa (Purple plumage) 0.22 0.27 aa (blue plumage) 0.36 0.32 Based on the observed and expected frequencies, how would you conclude whether the population was in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?

A type of congenital blindness, retinal atrophy, is known to be an X-linked recessive disorder.  A female retriever named Juniper was a carrier for the disorder but was unaffected.  One fine summer evening, Juniper escaped from her family’s backyard and is now expecting puppies.  It is highly suspected that the father of Juniper’s puppies is the neighbor’s dog Oliver.  Oliver has retinal atrophy and has deteriorating vision.  (Please state your answer to two decimal places.) What is the percent probability that one of Juniper’s male puppies would have retinal atrophy? What is the percent probability that one of Juniper’s female puppies would have retinal atrophy? What is the percent probability that Juniper and Oliver would have two unaffected female puppies? What is the probability that any four of Juniper’s seven puppies will have retinal atrophy %

He immediately started making plans.“When are we leaving?” he wanted to know.“We’ll be leaving August 10th,” his mom answered.August 10th was eight weeks away; it seemed more like forever. Jeff couldn’t imagine waiting that long, but then he realized something. Eight weeks would give him enough time to save up money to take with him on the trip, and that was a good thing. Jeff decided to be patient and make the most of the time he had—he would find a summer job. In which category does snorkeling belong?
