Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

What is the theory that allele and genotype frequencies will remain constant unless acted upon by an outside force?

• Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

• Inertia

• Frequency constancy

• Evolution

The formula for allele frequency is

The formula for genotype frequency is

Which population size is best for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

• Small

• Medium

• Large

(T/F) The Hardy-Weinberg principle applies only with random mating.

• True

• False

(T/F) The Hardy-Weinberg principle requires natural selection.

• True

• False

(T/F) When calculating frequencies, the percentages equal 1.

• True

• False

(T/F) When calculating frequencies, the frequencies equal 1.

• True

• False

Calculate the allele frequency in a population of four trees, three of which have large leaves (homozygous dominant) and one of which has short leaves (homozygous recessive). Use format 'p=x, q=x'

How do mutations affect the Hardy-Weinberg principle?

• They render it invalid.

• They confirm it.

• They amplify it.
