A population of raccoons is thought to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a tail-length gene. The frequency of the dominant allele (long tails) is 0.8. When a certain forest was surveyed, the scientist was able to tag 25 animals, which were all long-tailed. Does the lack of short-tailed animals suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest?
A. Yes, because the survey shows 100% AA individuals, so the short tils must have been selected against.
B. No, because you would only expect 4 of the surveyed racoons to be short-tailed, so they may have been missed by chance.
C. Yes, because 20% of the surveyed raccoons should have been short-tailed.
D. No, because you would only expect 4% of the raccoons to be short-tailed, so they may have been missed by chance.
