What does the Hardy-Weinberg Principle state?
💡 Hint: Think about the conditions where these frequencies are stable.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
