Question

In a laboratory experiment of sexually reproducing insects, a certain trait is determined by a single gene. The dominant allele has complete dominance over the recessive allele, resulting in two different observable phenotypes. Scientists created a new population of this insect by crossing 100 homozygous dominant individuals with 100 homozygous recessive individuals. The following results are from the first five generations of this population:
