Calculate the allele proportions

A gerbil poplulation has one hundred light blue gerbiles, 250 dark blue gerbils, and 150 black gerbils. In one generation 10% of the home population is displaced by a gang of tough light blue gerbils.

BB=light blue Bb= dark blue bb=black

1.) Use the data to calculate the allele proportions of the home prior to the takeover.

2.) What are the allele proportions of the gang (migrant) population?

3.) What proportion of the population is made up of the gang (migrants) after the takeover?

4.) What are the allele proportions in the home population after the gang takeover?

5.) Use Hardy-Weinberg to predict what the genotype proportions will be in the next generation after the takeover.
