Question
A population has 25 individuals of genotype AA, 25 individuals of genotype aa, and 50 individuals of genotype Aa. Is this population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not?
Group of answer choices
A. No because p2 + 2pq + q2 does not equal 1
B. Yes because p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
C. Yes because the genotype frequencies match HW expectations based on allele frequencies
D. No because there are more heterozygotes than expected under Hardy Weinberg
E. No because there are fewer heterozygotes than expected under Hardy Weinberg
