Question

Q1) Which of the following are assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

All answers represent assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Large population

Q2) For a given population with alleles A and a, the frequency of allele a (q) is equal to

1 - (2pq + p2)

1 - q

1 - p

cannot be determined from the information provided

Q3) The relative fitness values of three genotypes are wAA = 1, wAa = 1 and waa = 0.6. Assuming that the population initially has allele frequencies of p = 0.5 and q = 0.5 and genotype frequencies AA = 0.25, Aa = 0.5 and aa = 0.25, what is the value of p after one generation of selection?

0.555

Q4) Which of the following can lead to fixation of an allele in a population?

Absence of population structure

Explanation / Answer

1. All are assumptions of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

These are all the assumptions-

2. by 1-p

3. It remains same i.e. 0.5

4. Directional selection
