D) a and b
E) a, b, and c
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
A principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
Allele Frequencies
The relative frequencies of different alleles of a particular gene in a given population.
Genotype Frequencies
The distribution of the different genetic constitutions within a population.
- Evaluate and explain the genetic information pertaining to populations, focusing on allele frequencies and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
- Acquire knowledge about the Hardy-Weinberg principle and understand its impact on genetic variation within populations.
