Title: Why is the ability to calculate allele frequency limited by the size of the gene pool?
Post by: firemonkey on May 2, 2012
A:Mutation only influences small gene pools.
B:Factors that limit allele frequency have greater influence on small populations.
C:Nonrandom mating is more common in large gene pools.
D:The Hardy-Weinberg principle only applies to small populations.

A (Independent of size of gene pool)>> B (Correct answer).
C (False, its more common in small gene pools, hence is also called frequent near-neighbor mating)
D (It applies to population in equilibrium)
