What is one assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg law that does not hold true for all populations?
When we find a population whose allele frequencies are not in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, what can and can’t we conclude about that population?
What is the Hardy-weinberg equation? and how can I use it to determine allele frequency of the next generation?

- How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.arrow_forwardHow Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? The MN blood group is a single-gene, two-allele system in which each allele is codominant. Why are such codominant alleles ideal for studies of allele frequencies in a population?arrow_forwardWhat do these observed differences in allele frequencies between populations suggest about the applicability of the Hardy-Weinberg ideal model assumptions to real populations?arrow_forward
