Frequency of bb genotype
After natural selection, how many genotypes are left in the population?

What can be concluded about the population based on the observed frequency of BB compared to the H-W predicted frequency?
The population has fewer BB genotypes than expected
What is the actual observed frequency of the heterozygous genotype Bb?

What is the most widely used method of describing species and identifying them according to the text?
Morphological Species Concept
What assumption is made in the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
All individuals in a population have equal reproductive success.
What does the Ecological Species Concept define a species in terms of?
Ecological niche
Why is the Morphological Species Concept criticized in the text?
It lacks an objective basis for choosing defining traits.
What eliminates phenotypes that are unfit for a given environment according to the text?
Natural selection
Test your knowledge on the Morphological Species Concept (MSC) which defines species based on physical or biochemical traits. Learn about how this method is used to describe and identify species, including examples like Dermanura watsoni and Vampyressa thyone.
