19. You are examining a population of marmots in Yellowstone National Park. Some have black fur and some have a lighter brown. You suspect the same gene that encodes for melanosome density in Labrador retrievers is the cause. You sequence the gene for 250 animals and find only two alleles in the population: BB:89, Bb: 125, bb: 36 a. Using the genotype information, calculate the allele frequencies. b. Test whether this population is likely in Hardy-Weinberg with respect to this locus. (first estimate your expected counts and then do your Chi-square test) Observed (O) 89 125 36 Expected (E) O-E (O-E)² (O-E)²/E
