question 170

Multiple Choice

In a study of genetic variation at the Graceland gene, a researcher finds that there are two alleles in a population. In a large sample (500 individuals) , the frequency of heterozygotes is 0.63. Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

• A)No. The frequency of heterozygotes would be 1 if the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
• B)No. The highest frequency of heterozygotes under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is 0.5.
• C)No. There would be no heterozygotes if the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
• D)No. The frequency of each genotype would be equal if the population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
