If all 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions are true, a population is said to be in genetic equilibrium. This means

• it is evolving

• it is not evolving

Select ALL of the following that violate the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions and would lead to a change in allele frequencies in a population.

• natural selection

• large population

• no mutations

• nonrandom mating

• no migration

• 50%

• 63%

• 37%

All of the following are part of Hardy Weinberg law for populations in equilibirum EXCEPT

• Large population

• No immigration or emigration

• No natural selection

• Non random mating

• No genetic mutations

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

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

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.  

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

• A) Large population size

• B) No mutations

• C) Natural selection

• D) Random mating

In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype if the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.2?

• A) 0.04

• B) 0.16

• C) 0.32

• D) 0.64
