a.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The allele frequencies for each population and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: The allele that is located at a particular locus in a population, its relative frequency value is calculated as a fraction, this frequency is known as allele frequency.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether there is an excess of homozygous or heterozygous genotypes, for the populations which are not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: Homozygous genotypes are those genotypes which carry the same type of alleles. If both the alleles are recessive, the genotype is said to be homozygous recessive otherwise if it is dominant, the genotype is called as homozygous dominant. On the other side, heterozygous genotypes carry different alleles.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The number of generations of random mating to reach the population at the equilibrium, for the populations which are not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: If any population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it shows that one of the laws of Hardy-Weinberg has been violated. Deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, correspond to other factors of evolution.
