In squirrels, black fur (B) is dominant over gray fur (b). A team of scientists is studying a population of squirrels in a forest. They calculate the allele frequency and phenotype frequency for the trait of fur color over several generations. What information can they infer about the squirrel population by applying the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
a
whether fur color is affecting the evolution of the population.
b
the size of the population
c
the rate that mutations are occurring in the population
d
when each allele evolved in the population
