Question

9. When Hardy-Weinberg conditions are NOT met for a population, A) the population is likely evolving. B) the population is not evolving. C) the difference between observed and expected genotype frequencies allows a determination of the rate of evolutionary change. D) A and C E) B and C 10. In the equation, p + q = 1, p and q represent the frequency of the dominant and recessive genotypes. the frequency of the dominant and recessive phenotypes. the frequency of the homozygous and heterozygous genotypes. the frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles. the frequency of mating between genotypes.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 9) D

Hardy-Weinberg Law Fails to Apply in A and C.

These both options are going to lead to evolutionary change and Hardy-Weinberg Law cannot be applied on evolving population.

Ans 10) The frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles.

p and q are the notations used in the Hardy-Weinberg Law.
