Do you think Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is realistic? Why or why not?

Multiple Choice

p + q = 1. If p represents the dominant allele frequency, what would q represent?

1

the homozygous dominant genotype frequency

2

the recessive allele frequency

3

the total amount of alleles in the population

4

a measure of fitness in the population

6

Multiple Choice

p + q always equals 1. Which answer choice best explains this?

1

1 individual could have a dominant or a recessive allele.

2

The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The 1 indicates that the population has not evolved.

3

In terms of frequency, 1 is the highest possible number you can have.

4

In terms of frequency, 1 is the same as 100%. All alleles in a population added up give you 100% of the alleles.

Why does it make sense that the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is p2?

11

Open Ended

In your notes, complete a Punnett Square for 2 parents with the genotype pq. How do the results support the Hardy-Weinberg equation? (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1)
