What does the heterozygosity index (H) measure?
What does the heterozygosity index (H) measure?
- Number of individuals in a habitat
- Total number of organisms in a population
- Genetic diversity within a species (correct)
- Number of homozygotes in a population
How is the diversity index (D) calculated?
How is the diversity index (D) calculated?
- D = n + N
- D = N / n (correct)
- D = n / N
- D = N - n
