Hardy Weinberg

The frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 0.19 (A) and 0.81 (a). Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What is the percent of heterozygous individuals in the population?

• 31%

• 4%

• 66%

• 15%

Which Hardy-Weinberg equation represents the genotype frequencies in a population?

• p + q = 1
• p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
• p2 + pq2 + q2 = 1
• p + 2pq + q3 = 1

If a population experiences no migration, is very large, has no mutations, has random mating, and there is no selection, which of the following would you predict?

• The population will evolve, but much more slowly than normal

• The makeup of the population's gene pool will remain virtually the same as long as these conditions hold.

• The composition of the population's gene pool will change slowly in a predictable manner.

• Dominant alleles in the population's gene pool will slowly increase in frequency while recessive alleles will decrease.

• The population probably has an equal frequency of A and a alleles.

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, q² is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 
• the dominant allele
• the recessive genotype
• the dominant genotype
