Answer 8

1

Question 9

allele frequencies equation

Answer 9

p + q = 1

Question 10

genotype frequencies equation

Answer 10

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

Question 11

allele frequencies and genotype frequencies are typically…

Answer 11

constant over time

in a large randomly-mating population without selection

Question 12

4 ways population frequencies can change

Answer 12

random chance (drift)

migration

natural selection

mutation (not enough to notice)

Question 13

population frequencies can change rapidly 3 ways

Answer 13

random chance is population is small and isolated

heavy migration into a small population

intense natural selection in a large population

Question 14

Hardy-Weinberg assumptions

Answer 14

large population

random mating

survival and reproduction are not affected by genotype (no selection)

Question 15

genetic polymorphism

Answer 15

a gene has more than one allele in a population

ABO blood types
