A sample of 100 indiv is taken from a breeding population (population x) of M&Ms that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for candy color. A=blue, A' = yellow. The heterozygote (AA') phenotype is green.
1) In the sample of 100 indiv, 30 were blue, 50 were green, and 20 were yellow. In this sample, what is the frequency of the A' allele?
2) In the original population x, p(A) =.6. If the same has the same allele frequency, how many indiv of the 100 candies in the sample would be expected to be green?

1) In the original breeding population, p(A) = 0.6. If the sample has the same allele frequency, what percent of the sample would be expected to be the color yellow?
2) What is the (approximate) probability that if you randomly selected 2 individuals from Population X they would both be yellow? (A) 0.03; (B) 0.16; (C) 0.32; (D) 0.36; (E) 0.50; (F) 0.60; (G) 0.72
The answer is 1) 16% and 2) A [.3=(.16)(.16)] But I dont know how you get it. Plz show me how . thx
