The Hardy Weinberg principle is used to test whether evolution is occurring. What is the entity considered under the principle?
A. The gene
B. The individual
C. The population
D. The species
E. Any and all of the above
C is correct answer because Hardy Weinberg considered the population under the principle. So c is correct answer .

QUESTION 23 Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium principle? A. No migration O B. No mutation C. Infinite population size D. Non-random mating E. More than one answer is correct QUESTION 24 Which of the following increases genetic diversity in a population? O A. Genetic drift B. Mutations C. Bottleneck events D. Gene Flow E. B and D O F. All of the above
The Hardy-Weinberg law describes the characteristics of a genetic population under ideal circumstances. This principle states that gene frequencies in a population, under ideal conditions, would: a. remain stable over time b. display directional selection c. develop zygomatic plasticity
Population Genetics and Human Evolution Complete the following discussions: The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that allele frequencies remain constant across generations unless certain influences are introduced, such as nonrandom matings or mutations. Describe the Hardy-Weinberg principle. Are there influences that deviate from the principle? If so, what are they? If no, why?
It is exceedingly rare for all the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions to be met in nature. Evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over time, so a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not evolving. Match the following terms with the most correct statement. Each of these relates to evolutionary forces or conditions that violate the Hardy- Weinberg assumptions. (Each term only matches to one statement). Genetic drift - Migration - Inbreeding - 4 Mutation - Natural selection - Nonrandom mating a. Does...
4. The Hardy-Weinberg Principle. For a single locus, if the frequency of one allele (allele A) is 0.4, the frequency of the other allele (allele B) is 0.6, what are the expected frequencies of the AA genotype, the AB genotype and the BB genotype in the next generation? What are the eight assumptions that should be met when making the genotype frequency predictions? How do the eight assumptions serve to form a null model for evolution? Finally, how does one...
reting Data: Hardy-Weinberg Equation 2 of 10 you use the Hardy Weinberg equation to answer questions about a hypotheticalcat population Part A A hypothetical population of 500 cats has two wees, Tandt for a gene that codes for tail length (Tis completely dominantot) The table below presents the phenotype of cats with each possible genotype, as well as the number of individuals in the population with each genotype. Assume that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium Recall that the Hardy...
.1. The Hardy-Weinberg principle and its equations predict that frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from generation to generation in populations that are not evolving. What five conditions does this prediction assume to be true about such a population? a._______ b._______ c._______ d._______ e._______ 2. Before beginning the activity, answer the following general Hardy-Weinberg problems for practice (assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium).a. If the frequency of a recessive allele is 0.3, what is the frequency of the dominant...
You are a population geneticist studying Gene B in a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. You sample a population to determine the genotypes at Gene B. You find that the freuency of homozygous recessive genotypes (bb) is 0.10. What would be the frequency of the dominant allele (B) in this population? A. 0.84 B. 0.4 C. 0.36 D. 0.6 E. 0.48
4. The Hardy-Weinberg Proof. Consider a gene that has only two alleles R (dominant) and r (recessive). The sum total of all R plus all r alleles equals all the alleles at this gene locus, or 100% of all the alleles for that gene. Let p = the percentage or probability of all R alleles in the population. Let q = the percentage or probability of all r alleles in the population. If all R + all r alleles =...
2. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium; chi-square test Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by a recessive mutation (S) in the b-hemoglobin gene. 80% of affected SS individuals die before reproducing. Heterozygotes (AS) and homozygous dominant (AA) individuals do not have sickle cell anemia. The table below shows the number of people of each genotype in a population of 100 people in population of Cameroon. Observed # individuals in a Cameroon population AA AS SS 62 32 6 What are the...
