Question:

A population of Hawaiian Drosophila is segregating two alleles, P1 and P2, of the phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) gene. In a sample of 100 flies from this population, 30 were P1P1 homozygotes, 60 were P1P2 heterozygotes, and 10 were P2P2 homozygotes. 

(a) What are the frequencies of the P1 and P2 alleles in this sample? 

(b) Perform a chi-square test to determine if the genotypes in the sample are in Hardy–Weinberg proportions. 

(c) Assuming that the sample is representative of the population, how many generations of random mating would be required to establish Hardy–Weinberg proportions in the population?
