Lab Quiz 1

Question 1

when you study change that leads to the origin of a new species and taxonomic groups, evolutionary trends, adaptive radiation, or mass extinction

Answer 1

macroevolution

Question 2

when you study changes on a smaller scale, like in a population gene pool over time

Answer 2

microevolution

Question 3

all of the alleles available in the population

Answer 3

gene pool

Question 4

p stands for…

Answer 4

frequency of a dominant allele (HH, Hh, Hh, hh = .5 frequency of dominant)

Question 5

q stands for…

Answer 5

frequency of a recessive allele (HH, Hh, Hh, hh =.5 frequency of recessive)

Question 6

-> each individual of the population must be able to mate with any other individual (random mating)
-> every individual must be just as well-adapted to the environment as any other individual
-> no mutation or migration occurs
-> the population must be very large

Answer 6

assumptions needed for hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Question 7

p² stands for…

Answer 7

frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (HH, BB)

Question 8

2pq stands for….

Answer 8

frequency of heterozygote genotype (Hh, Bb)

Question 9

q² stands for…

Answer 9

frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Question 10

the number of individuals of that genotype divided by the total number of individuals

Answer 10

how to find the frequency of a genotype
