A population is said to be in H-W equilibrium IF:

(select ALL that apply)

• allele frequencies are constant from one generation to the next

• all 5 H-W conditions are met

• at least 3 of the 5 H-W conditions are met

• allele frequencies change from one generation to the next

• 0.002

• 0.9553

• 0.0447

• 0.9125

In a population of newts, producing toxin is a recessive trait, while not producing toxin is dominant.

In this population of newts, 387 / 587 newts do not produce toxin. What is the frequency of newts that are heterozygous in the population?
