Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow for 2 points each: Two Siamese and three Persian cats survive a shipwreck and are carried on driftwood to a previously uninhabited tropical island. All five cats have normal ears, but one carries the recessive allele f or folded ears, his genotype is Ff. The other four cats are not carriers, so their genotype is FF. Thus there are 10 total alleles within this population, 9 being F alleles and 1 being f. So, the frequencies are 9/10 or 0.90 for F the allele and 1/10 or 0.10 for the f allele. 1. Identify ONE of the five conditions required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that this population of cats does not meet. 2. If you assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this population, what would be the frequencies of the two alleles after 10 generations? 3. Knowing that the frequency of the folded ears genotype ff is equal to to the frequency of the f allele squared (0.1 x 0.1), how many cats would have folded ears if after 10 generations there are 2,500 cats on the island?
