The number of flowers a lily has is controlled by a dominant allele for two flowers (T) or one flower (t). A gene on a separate chromosome controls height with an allele for short height (S) that is dominant to tall (s). If you had a population of 1000 lilies that was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and you observed that 64% of the population had one flower and 25% of the population was tall, how many plants would you predict would be heterozygous at both loci? How many will be tall with one flower?

| A new kind of rose is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-gene locus, and that the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c). A random sample of 1000 roses from a large cultivated field yields 212 purple flowers and 788 pink flowers. If the population is in H-W equilibrium, how many of the plants have genotype Cc? | |||||||||||
