Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What does the Hardy-Weinberg Principle state?

Allele frequencies remain constant under evolutionary forces.
Genotype frequencies fluctuate constantly.
Allele frequencies will change every generation.

💡 Hint: Think about the conditions where these frequencies are stable.

Question 2

True or False: Genetic drift can affect large populations more than small ones.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider how randomness plays a role in populations.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A population has 400 individuals, where the frequency of allele A is 0.7. If a natural disaster randomly removes 30 individuals, how will this impact allele frequencies?

💡 Hint: Consider how the remaining population’s structure might change the balance of A and a.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the implications of introducing a new allele into a Hardy-Weinberg stable population. What pattern might emerge?

💡 Hint: Think about how new gene flow might alter existing ratios.
