2. Question #1:
In a population of dominant and recessive alleles for the trait color seen in Snapdragon flowers, the dominant allele frequency is What would the recessive allele frequency be?
 a. recessive allele is 0.3
b .  recessive allele is 0.93
 c. recessive allele is 70%
d.  recessive allele is 0.2

3. Question #2:
 What would be the correct way to rearrange P + q = 1.00, to solve for the recessive allele frequency?
A.  P = q = 1.00
B.  P = 1 - q
C. q = 1 - P
D.  It is impossible to solve recessive allele frequencies using this formula

4. Question #3:
In a population of 10 mice that display brown and white coat color, what would be the recessive and dominant allele frequency, if 4 display the recessive phenotype of brown?
 a. Dominant 0.3 and Recessive 0.7
 b. Dominant 0.4 and Recessive 0.6
 c. Dominant 0.6 and Recessive 0.4
 d. None of the above are correct

5. Question #4:
When solving for genotypic frequencies, which of the following statements is false?
 a. The formula P2 + 2Pq + q2 = 1.00 can    be used
 b. A cross-multiplication table can be used
 c. q2 represents the homozygyous recessive genotypic frequency
d.  P2 from the equation would represent the homozygous recessive genotype

6. Question #5:
A large population of laboratory animals has been allowed to breed randomly for a number of generations. After several generations, 36% of the animals display a recessive trait (aa), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. The rest of the animals show the dominant phenotype, with heterozygotes indistinguishable from the homozygous dominants. 
What are the dominant and recessive allele frequencies in the population?
 a. P = 0.4 & q = 0.60
b.  P = 0.40 & q = 0.30
 c. P = 0.18 & q = 0.72
 d. P = 0.80 & q = 0.20 

7. Question #6:
The allele for a hitchhiker's thumb is dominant over a straight thumb. In a population of individuals, 510 show the dominant phenotype. How many individuals would you expect for each of the three possible genotypes for this trait?
 a. PP = 9%, Pq = 49%, qq = 42%
 b. PP= 42%, Pq = 9%, qq = 49%
 c. PP = 49%, Pq = 42, qq = 9%
 d. PP = 9%, Pq = 42%, qq = 49%

8. Question #7:
If 98 out of 200 individuals in a population express the recessive phenotype, what percent of the population are homozygous dominant?
 a. 49%
 b. 70%
 c. 30%
 d. 42%
e.  9%

9. Question 8:
If 98 out of 200 individuals in a population express the recessive phenotype, what percent of the population are heterozygotes?
 a. 49%
 b. 70%
 c. 30%
 d. 42%
 e. 9%
