Population Genetics: Predictable Patterns of Inheritance Quiz

For the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to hold, the population must be large enough to avoid the effects of a random loss of alleles by chance events, known as ______

The population genetics principle of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be predicted in a population as long as there is no ______

In the context of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant if there is no ______ between neighbouring populations

According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, if none of the factors such as genetic drift, mutation, mating choice, migration, or natural selection are operating, the relative proportions of the alleles will be ______

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the observed and expected frequencies of genotypes and alleles should be _________.

In the genetic equilibrium, the frequency of alleles remains ________ from one generation to the next.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle assumes large population size, _______ migration, natural selection, and random mating.

The Hardy-Weinberg equation p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 represents the frequencies of ________ in a population.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if the observed frequencies deviate from the expected frequencies, it indicates that the population is experiencing ________.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium provides a null model for understanding how ________ and ________ affect allele frequencies in a population.

If the frequency of the A allele = p and the frequency of the a allele = q, then p + q = ______

Using the calculated allele frequency to predict the EXPECTED genotypic frequencies in the NEXT generation OR to verify that the PRESENT population is in genetic ______.

So the genotype frequencies are: AA= p2 Aa = 2pq aa=q2 or p2 + 2pq + q2 = ______

Using the Hardy Weinberg Equation to determine the genotype frequencies from the allele frequencies may seem a circular argument.ONLY ONE OF THE POPULATIONS BELOW IS IN GENETIC ______.WHICH ONE?
