AP Biology › Understanding Hardy-Weinberg Assumptions and Calculations
Which of the following is a Hardy-Weinberg assumption?
If four percent of the population is homozygous recessive for the trait that carries dimples (recessive), what is the fractional frequency of the dominant allele?
A population of snails is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The snails come in two different colors: red, the dominant phenotype, and white, the recessive phenotype. The population consists of sixty-four red snails and thirty-six white snails.
Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the value of ?
A population of snails is originally in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The snails come in two different colors: red, the dominant phenotype, and white, the recessive phenotype. The original population has a dominant allele frequency of and a recessive allele frequency of
. A new predator is introduced to the habitat that is particularly fond of the red snails. After a few years the dominant allele frequency has been reduced to
.
What is the recessive allele frequency after the introduction of this predator?
A population of snails is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The snails come in two different colors: red, the dominant phenotype, and white, the recessive phenotype. There are sixteen homozygous dominant, forty-eight heterozygous, and thirty-six homozygous recessive snails.
What are the allele frequencies for this population?
Which of the following is not a Hardy-Weinberg assumption?
Which of the following are assumptions made by the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
Imagine that a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A certain gene presents as two different alleles, and 49% of the population is homozygous dominant.
What percentage of the population is homozygous recessive?
In a given population of snails, spiral shells are dominant to round shells. If 36% of the population is homozygous for the spiral shell allele, what percentage of the population is heterozygous?
A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In the population, 1% of individuals show the recessive trait for blue eyes. What is the value of in this situation?
