Question

1. Consider a population in which two alleles segregate with the following frequencies: p = 0.7, q = 0.3. If no evolutionary forces act on this population, the frequencies of p will equal _______ and q will equal_______ after 30 generations.  ORDER MATTERS.

a. p=0.3, q=0.7

b. p=0.5, q=0.5

c. p=0.75, q=0.25

d. p=1, q=0

e. None of the above

2. Assume a biallelic locus in a diploid population has the following genotype frequencies: A1A1 = 0.59; A1A2 = 0.16; and A2A2 = 0.25. What is the observed allele frequency (p) of the A1 allele?

a. 0.67

b. 0.16

c. 0.25

d. 0.33

e. 0.59

Explanation / Answer

The Hardy-Weinberg principle says that allelic frequencies remain constant from 1 generation to the next,or remain in equilibrium, if we assume certain condition, none of the above.

2 the observed allele frequency of A1 allele is p= .59, (e)
