Question

In a population of the annual, self-compatible, Ipomoea purpurea, allele frequencies at a neutral
genetic marker with two alleles are p=0.7; q=0.3 in generation 1. Assume this population in
generation 1 was initially in Hardy Weinburg equilibrium. In this year, pollinators are absent and all
plants self-fertilize, thus producing only self-fertilized seeds.
Is the population in this second generation (i.e the offspring) still in Hardy Weinburg equilibrium?
Show your work or explain your answer.

Expert Solution

Step 1

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, both the allelic and genotypic frequency will remain the same from one generation to the next generation in the absence of any disturbance factors such as gene flow, natural selection, mutation and genetic drift.
