Suppose that you have a population of guinea pigs in which two-thirds of the alleles for coat color specify black, and one-third specify white.According to the Hardy-Weinberg rule, what will be the ratio of these alleles in the gene pool in future generations, provided all the guinea pigs reproduce?
A)1:1
B)2:1
C)3:1
D)6:1
E)7:1
