Hardy-Weinberg Principle — Prelims Questions
In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 are homozygous dominant (AA), 480 are heterozygous (Aa), and 160 are homozygous recessive (aa). What is the frequency of the dominant allele 'A'?
If the frequency of a recessive allele (q) in a population is 0.2, what is the frequency of heterozygous individuals in that population, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Which of the following conditions is NOT required for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
In a population of plants, show a recessive phenotype (white flowers). Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what percentage of the population are heterozygous (carrier) for the white flower allele?
If a population is experiencing significant gene flow, which of the following statements about its genetic makeup is most likely true?
A population of deer has two alleles for coat color: 'B' (brown, dominant) and 'b' (white, recessive). If of the deer population has white coats, what is the frequency of the dominant allele 'B'?
