Chapter 19, Problem 5RQ

Population genetics is the study of:

  1. how selective forces change the allele frequencies in a population over time
  2. the genetic basis of population-wide traits
  3. whether traits have a genetic basis
  4. the degree of inbreeding in a population

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that, in a large population, the proportion of each allele will do which of the following if there are no environmental forces on the population?         increase for recessive alleles         decrease for dominant alleles         remain the same         increase for dominant alleles
According to the principle of Hardy-Weinberg, which of the following will NOT change the frequencies of genotypes in a population?   Select one: Genetic drift Natural selection Mutation Random mating
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next, as long as specific conditions are met. Choose Yes or No for the conditions that must be met from the providied statement below. 1. Mutations are exponentially occuring   2. All member of the population breed   3. Everyone produces the same number of offspring   4. The population is infinitely large   5. There is no migration in or out of the population   6. No net mutations are occuring   7. Natural selection of beneficial traits is occuring   8. Natural selection is not occuring   9. All mating is completely random   10. Offspring are able to migrate out of the population
