2. Genotypes of leopard frogs from a population in central Kansas were determined for a locus (M) that encodes the enzyme malate dehydrogenase. The following numbers of genotypes were observed: Total sample studied = 107.
Genotype Number
M1M1 20
M1M2 45
M2M2 42
a.) Calculate the allelic frequencies for this population. (2 pts)
b.) What are the actual genotypic frequencies in the above populations? (1.5 pts)
c.) What would the expected numbers for each genotype if the population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (1.5 pts)
