a. Allele frequencies, phenotype frequencies
b. Frequencies of two alleles in a gene pool before and after many random matings
c. Allele frequencies in a subset of the population
d. Allele frequencies, number of individuals in the population


Which of the following statements is not a part of the Hardy?Weinberg principle?

a. If allele frequencies in a population are given by p and q, then genotype frequencies will be given by p2, 2pq, and q2 for generation after generation.
b. Even if allele A1 is dominant to allele A2, it does not increase in frequency.
c. The genotype frequencies in the offspring generation must add up to two.
d. When alleles are transmitted according to the rules of Mendelian inheritance, their frequencies do not change over time.


True or false? The Hardy?Weinberg model makes the following assumptions: no selection at the gene in question; no genetic drift; no gene flow; no mutation; random mating.

I don't quite understand what is being asked, but if I infer the question correctly, the best answer is (b)

(c) is not part of H-W (the word "two" must be replaced by the word "one")

That's true if H-W equilibrium is to be maintained
