In hamsters, there is a dominant allele (S) for smooth fur and a recessive allele (s) for spiky fur. A unique characteristic of these alleles is that the heterozygote (Ss) has its own phenotype - rough fur. In this way, we can determind the number of heterozygotes in the population. In a population of 1000 hamsters, 390 have smooth fur (SS), 470 have rough fur (Ss) and 140 have spiky fur (ss).
What are the allele frequencies in this population?

What are the expected number of each genotype in the next 1000 hamsters?
Number of SS Number of Ss Number of ss Have the allele frequencies changed?
Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
have the allele sequencie: nanged is the populati Weinberg equitoThe expected genotype frequency of Ss (2pq) in the next generation is expected to be:
a. 0.469
b. 0.390
c. 0.938
d. 469
The expected number of smooth fur hamsters (SS) in the next generation of 1000 hamsters is:
Is the population of hamsters in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
