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? (Use the Population tab to consider this question.)

Answer:

No, the lack of short-tailed animals in the sample does not suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest. It probably means that individuals with short tails were not included in the sample by chance, as their expected frequency in the population is considerably low.
