0 1 In one species based on squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, fur colour is controlled by one gene,
G B
with two codominant alleles. C represents the allele for grey fur colour, and C represents
the allele for black fur colour.
Table 1 shows the three possible phenotypes.

Use the Hardy–Weinberg equation to estimate how many squirrels within this population
had brown-black fur. Show your working.

Answer
0 1 . 3 S. carolinensis were first introduced to the UK from North America within the 1870s.
They are now widely distributed across the UK.
S. carolinensis from both North America and the UK show exactly the same genotypic and
phenotypic variation. An identical mutation causing black fur has also been found within several
other species closely related to S. carolinensis.
Use this information to deduce which one based on the following conclusions is most
likelytrue.
Tick (6) one box.
[1 mark]
The mutation that caused black fur happened after
A S. carolinensis was introduced to the UK from North America.
The mutation that caused black fur happened within a common
B ancestor based on S. carolinensis and other closely related
species.
The mutation that caused black fur happened independentlywithinS.
C carolinensis and all other closely related species.
The phenotypic variation shown within S. carolinensis and other
D closely related species is caused by genetic drift.
