Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a population of 400 individuals, 160 are homozygous dominant (AA) and 240 are heterozygous (Aa). Calculate the allele frequencies and check if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
💡 Hint: Start with allele frequencies and check if they add to one.
Propose a study design to observe the effect of natural selection on allele frequencies in a specific population over time. Discuss data collection methods and expected outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider traits that could confer an advantage or disadvantage in changing environments.
