A moth's color is controlled by two alleles, G and g, at a single locus. G (gray) is dominant to g (white). A large population of moths was studied, and the frequency of the G allele in the population over time was documented, as shown in the figure below. In 1980 a random sample of 2,000 pupae was collected and moths were allowed to emerge. Each figure shows an image of a stickleback fish with a genetic structure below it. The left figure is labeled Figure 1. Marine stickleback. A long Pelvic Spine on the fish is labeled. The genetic structure below the fish contains three enhancers, a promoter, and a gene. From left to right, the Enhancer Sequences are labeled Hindlimb, Pituitary, and Jaw. To the right of the Enhancer Sequences is a Promoter with an arrow moving up and to the right, over the top of the Pitx1 gene. The right figure is labeled Figure 2. Freshwater stickleback. A short Pelvic Spine on the fish is labeled. The genetic structure below the fish contains three enhancers, a promoter, and a gene. From left to right, the Enhancer Sequences are labeled Hindlimb, Pituitary, and Jaw. The Hindlimb enhancer is crossed out with an X, and it is labeled Disabled Due to Mutation. To the right of the Enhancer Sequences is a Promoter with an arrow moving up and to the right, over the top of the Pitx1 gene. Assuming that the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the G locus, what percentage of the gray moths that emerged in 1980 was heterozygous?Single choice
