A new university on a South Pacific island recruited 700 faculty members from colleges in Germany and Cuba. 500 of the faculty came from German. The faculty is 50% male. You notice that 90 of the German and 75 of the Cubans express a peculiar trait of rolling their eyes up into their sockets when asked a stupid question. You study the trait and discover it is always due to the expression of a dominant allele at a single gene called Sih. The Sih locus is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium in both Germans and Cubans. After a few years the faculty have married one anther. Among the 1000 progeny from theses marriages, how many children do you expect will express the eye rolling phenotype?
