1. Consider a certain species of grasshopper with a body that exhibits two phenotypes for pattern: 1) light green spots and 2) solid color with no spots. The solid allele is dominant and the green-spotted allele is recessive. For a total of 487 grasshoppers, 445 are solid and 42 have green spots.
a. List and describe all possible genotypes and phenotypes.
b. What is the phenotypic frequency of the grasshoppers that have no spots.
c. What is the phenotypic frequency of the green-spotted grasshoppers? (Round answer to two decimal places.)
d. Calculate the frequency of the recessive allele in this population. (Round answer to two decimal places.)
e. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele in this population.
f. Explain why the phenotypic frequency and genotypic frequency of the green spotted grasshoppers is the same value.
g. Explain why the phenotypic frequency and genotypic frequency of the solid grasshoppers IS NOT the same value.
