Biology: Variation & Population Genetics, Hardy-Weinberg

Which of the following is a condition for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next if the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are met.

If a population is NOT in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what process is likely occurring?

What is the term for the movement of genes from one population to another?

Inbreeding is an example of random mating, which supports Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

The MN blood group system has two alleles, M and N, which code for a ______ on the surface of red blood cells.

In the context of population genetics, what do alleles M and N represent in the MN blood group system?

What data was collected from individuals in the Philippines to study the MN locus?

Which of the following is NOT typically included in a questionnaire when studying population genetics?

The observed genotype frequencies for the MN locus are always the same across different populations.

How is the frequency of the M allele (denoted as $p$) calculated using genotype frequencies?

If the frequency of the M allele ($p$) is 0.6, what is the frequency of the N allele ($q$)?

In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, $p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$, what does the term $2pq$ represent?

If observed genotype frequencies deviate significantly from expected Hardy-Weinberg frequencies, the population is considered to be in equilibrium.

Which of the following factors can cause a population to deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the sum of allele frequencies for all alleles at a locus in a population must equal ______.

How can comparing observed genotype frequencies with expected Hardy-Weinberg frequencies help in understanding a population?

If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it means that the allele frequencies are changing rapidly from one generation to the next.

What is the primary consequence of isolation and inbreeding in small populations?

Within a population, the combination of all the genes (including all the different alleles) comprises the ______.

Which scenario would likely result in a population NOT being in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Migration prevents changes in allele frequencies of a population.

Which of the following equations correctly represents the Hardy-Weinberg principle for allele frequencies?

What does it mean for a population to be in 'equilibrium' regarding its genetic makeup?

What information is needed to apply the Hardy-Weinberg equation to a population?

Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allele frequencies in a population change predictably over time.

In the context of the MN blood group in the Philippines, what might cause the observed frequencies to differ from Hardy-Weinberg expectations?

If observed genotype frequencies are higher than expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it suggests that ______ selection may be occurring.

According to Hardy-Weinberg, what is the relationship between allele and genotype frequencies in a population?

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is most accurate for small, rapidly evolving populations.

Match these terms with their descriptions:

Which condition, if violated, is most likely to cause significant and rapid deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a small population?

How can understanding the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium relate to studying genetic diseases in populations?

What is indicated when the observed frequency of a recessive homozygous genotype is significantly higher than projected by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

If the two areas of same colors appear closer to the same height, that population should judged to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Which condition is vital in allowing populations to stay in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

What is the purpose of comparing HW with non-HW graph values?

Under HW, what would a bar that barely has a horizontal top mean?

A population in HW in never impacted by events.

Why is it that the ethnic regions are often an important role in maintaining Hardy-Weinberg?

What does a chromosome represent?

If most areas are the same color, what does that imply for ethnic diversity?
