Each group would place 32 black (or red) beans and 48 brown (or white) beans into their group's bag. The black (or red) beans represent the dominant allele R and the brown (or white) beans represent the recessive allele r. Since the population has 32 + 48 = 80 alleles, this means the population will contain 40 individuals, with each individual represented by two beans. These two beans will represent the genotype of the individual

1. Each bean represents a single allele. If the organisms in the population are diploid (they have two alleles for each gene), how many individuals are in the population?

2. Since each bean represents a single allele:

a. What allele does the black (or red) bean represent?

b. What allele does the brown (or white) bean represent?

c. What color combination of two beans represents a:

i. homozygous dominant individual?

ii. Homozygous recessive individual?

iii. Heterozygous individual
