What does the variable q represent?

• Frequency of the heterozygote genotype
• Frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype
• The frequency of the recessive allele
• The frequency of the dominant allele 

If 98 out of 200 individuals in a population express the recessive phenotype, what percent of the population would you predict would be heterozygous?

• 70%
• 30%
• 42%
• 49%

In a population of humans, the frequency of no dimples is 0.36. If having no dimples is the recessive phenotype, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?

• 0.6
• 0.36
• 0.64
• 0.18

• Generation 1
• Generation 2

Which of the following is NOT a condition for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

• No mutations
• Random Mating
• No natural selection
• No offspring

The Hardy-Weinberg Model is?

• Available at local hobby stores and retailers throughout the Greater Cleveland area.
• A mathematical tool that biologists can use to predict allele frequencies and determine whether or not evolution is occurring within a population.
• Always occurring within populations of organisms in nature.
• Only useful in the lab and cannot be practically applied to real-world populations of organisms.
