You have been cultivating snapdragons in your garden and allowing plants to re-germinate each year from seeds dropped by the previous year’s annual plants. You know that white flowers are recessive and count 9 white flower plants out of 100 that you examine. Do you find evidence for evolution acting in your population? If yes, could natural selection be involved?

Can we calculate using HWE here or we can't because if we calculate q^2 then we are assuming the population is in HWE. I was also thinking along the lines that if we calculate q , it wouldn't only be for homozygous recessive but also for heterozygous, thats why we can't know what proportion of q is homozygous recessive and thus compare it to original number of white flowers to see if evolution is happening. please tell me if this is correct or wrong.

AND PLEASE DONT ANSWER IF YOU AREN'T 100% SURE OF THE SOLUTION. ive seen answers to this question on chegg and im sure it ISNT correct. Thanks, ill definitely give you a thumbs up!

You have a garden of rare Indian Snow Lotus plants. You know that flower color is determined by two alleles of a single gene in this species, a “pink” allele, and a “yellow” allele. One these alleles is completely dominant over the other, but you forgot which one. You decide to cross two plants with yellow flowers to find out. You raise 6 offspring, and all of them have yellow flowers. Based on the results of this cross, which of...

In your garden, you have a hose with a radius of 3 cm connected to a sprinkler with twelve openings, each of which has a radius of 0.2 cm. The sprinkler openings are aimed 25• above the horizon, and the water travels a distance of 4 m before hitting your flowers. a) What is the exit velocity at the sprinkler openings? b) What is the flow rate of the sprinkler? c) What must the water pressure in the hose be?

You are running a nursery for garden peas at your university, and you have two pure-bred garden pea strains: Yellow Wrinkled (YYrr) and Green Round (yyRR). You know that Yellow is dominant to green and that Round is dominant to Wrinked. One customer asked about one particular pure-bred strain, Yellow Round (YYRR). You promised to that customer that you could generate this pure-bred one. 1. Provide breeding schemes. 2. After several breeding experiments, you need to identify the pure-bred one...

. You read in the newspaper that rocks from Mars have been found on Earth. Your friend says that the rocks were shot off Mars by the large volcanoes there. You are skeptical so you decide to calculate the magnitude of the velocity that volcanoes eject rocks from geological evidence. You know the gravitational acceleration of objects falling near the surface of Mars is only 40% that on the Earth. You can look up the height of Martian volcanoes and...
