Hardy-Weinberg - Review

Which Hardy-Weinberg factor represents the frequency of heterozygous individuals ( or carriers ) in a population?

• p2

• 2pq

• q2

• p2 + 2pq

What do you call all of the genes in a population?

• Gene pool
• Relative Frequency
• Genetic Drift
• Allele pool

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

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

The allele frequency of p=.20 What is q?

• .80

• .04

• .32

• .64

What does p stand for?

• dominant allele

• recessive allele

• homozygous dominant

• homozygous recessive

• heterozygous

What does the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium measure?

• changes in allele frequencies
• numbers of mutations
• goodness of fit
• genetic diversity

A population of 150 individuals has an allele frequency of 0.3 for the dominant allele (B) and a frequency of 0.7 for the recessive allele (b). Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the frequency of the genotype (bb).

• 0.09
• 0.42
• 0.49
• 0.21

The allele frequency of p=.20 What is q?

• .80

• .04

• .32

• .64

A few deer wander out of their native woods into a completely new park where no deer had ever been before. They go on to create an entirely new population.

• Genetic Drift
• Natural Selection
• Non-random mating
• Mutation

When a large population is drastically (catastrophically) reduced in size, causing a loss of genetic diversity that can have negative long-term effects.

• Founder effect

• Bottlebottom effect

• Bottleneck effect

• Founder Father effect
