Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A population of rabbits shows that 36% have the recessive fur color. Calculate the expected percentage of carriers in this population.

💡 Hint: Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations to guide your calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

A certain plant species exhibits a shift in allele frequencies over several generations. Discuss how you might analyze the evolutionary forces affecting this shift.

💡 Hint: Consider all factors influencing allele frequency changes.
