Post by: nurseneo on Feb 23, 2013
Consider the following scenario. Northern Pike can have only big teeth or small teeth. Tooth size is controlled by a singe gene with 2 alleles.Large tooth size is dominant(L), and samll tooth size is recessive(l). A survey revealed that 51% of all northern pike have large teeth.

What proportion of alleles in the poplulation is the dominant form (L)?
What proportion of the northern pike is heterozygous for tooth size?
