Using The Hardy-Weinberg Equation To Determine If A Population Appears To Be Evolving

A hypothetical population of 300 wolves has two alleles, FB and FW, for a locus that codes for fur color. The table below describes the phenotype of a wolf with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Which statements accurately describe the population of wolves? Genotype Phenotype (fur color) Number of individuals FBFB black 40 FBFW gray 40 FWFW white 220 Select the four statements that are true. Based on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number of wolves with the FBFB genotype is 40. Based on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number of wolves with the FBFB genotype is 12. Based on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number of wolves with the FBFW genotype is 40. Based on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the expected number of wolves with the FBFW genotype is 96. The population may be evolving because the actual number of individuals with each genotype differs from the expected number of individuals with each genotype. The population is not evolving because it is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
