2. In a population of Mendel's garden peas, the True.
frequency of dominant yellow-flowered plants is
50%. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equi-
librium. From this information alone, you can de-
termine the allele frequencies (A=p and a=q). T/F

4. The goldenrod gall fly lays its eggs on the ter- stabilizing selection
minal buds of goldenrod plants. Larvae chew
through the buds and into the stems, where
their saliva induces the plant to generate a gall,
or outgrowth of tissue that then provides food
and shelter for the developing larva. The larvae
are prey to both parasitoid wasps and to birds;
wasps selectively prey on larvae inside the small-
est galls while birds selectively prey on larvae in-
side the largest galls. Golden gall flies are there-
fore subject to:
