Solved by a verified expert:Suppose a population of flour beetles has 1,000 individuals. Normally the beetles are red; however, this population is polymorphic for a mutant auto somal body color, black, designated by bb. Red is dominant to black, so BB and Bbgenotypes are red. Assume the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, with equal frequencies of the two alleles. What would be the expected frequency of the red and black phenotypes?
