Question: In humans, freckles are a biallelic trait. Having freckles is dominant (F) and not having freckles is recessive (f). Out of a sample of 200 people in the population, 8 do not have freckles. Assuming HWE, answer the following questions: a. What are the allele frequencies in the population? b. Fifty of these 200 people colonize a remote island with no other human inhabitants. What do you expect the frequency and number of each genotype to be? c. You assess the new population and find 21 homozygous people with freckles, 23 heterozygous people with freckles, and 6 homozygous people without freckles. Is this what you expect (using the Chi-square test)? If not, what are the new allele frequencies?
