Suppose you return to the population after 10 generations and observe 80 black, 240 brown and 180 tan individuals. Explain how you would use the H-W model to determine if there has been statistically significant evolutionary change (change in genetic composition) in the population. Include the following terms in your answer: null hypothesis, observed and expected genotype frequencies, chi-square. Recall that you would need to do the chi-square calculation using observed and expected numbers of individuals of each genotype, not using observed and expected frequencies.
