Question 1

What does the Hardy-Weinberg principle allow us to do?

  • Predict allele and genotype frequencies
  • Identify dominant traits
  • Estimate mutation rates

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what the equation is used for.

Question 2

True or False: Deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can indicate evolutionary processes.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember what can impact allele frequencies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A population of rabbits shows that 36% have the recessive fur color. Calculate the expected percentage of carriers in this population.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations to guide your calculations.

Question 2

A certain plant species exhibits a shift in allele frequencies over several generations. Discuss how you might analyze the evolutionary forces affecting this shift.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider all factors influencing allele frequency changes.
