Question 1 Based on what you learned from the video and in lecture, are their flower petals (pictured above) analogous or homologous structures? Explain your reasoning.
Question 2
The Michigan lily can be identified by their bright orange petals with dark spots, a trait that is controlled by the MYB gene. You come across a very large population of Michigan lilies that possess two alleles (A and a) for the MYB gene. You genotype this population and discover that the observed genetic frequencies are AA = 0.46; Aa = 0.36; as = 0.18.
Is this gene in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not? Note: Assume your sample size was so large that a difference of 3% or more in any of the observed vs expected frequencies indicates a significant difference between the two. Any differences less than 3% are due to random chance and are non-significant.
