What are the 5 basic assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?   Large population Random mating No mutation No gene flow (migration) No natural selection

What is the source of new alleles within a population? mutation sexual reproduction independent assortment natural selection

Consider a gene with two alleles, C and M. The table below describes fitness for different genotypes in two populations.   Fitness   CC CM MM Population 1 1.0 1.0 0.6 Population 2 0.9 0.9 1.0  Assume that both populations begin with frequencies of 0.5 for each allele, population size is infinite, and there is no migration between populations. Which of the following statements is true based on the information you have on these populations?

which of the following  would be sufficent for the hardy-weinberg equations to accurately predict geontype frequencies from allele frequenceies. - p+q = 1 - the population is not evolving due to natural selection  -the population is not evolving due to any of the conditions that disrupt hardy-weingberg - the population is infinetely large

All of the following evolutionary mechanisms have the potential to result in divergence between two allopatric populations, except:  - sexual selection - Migration - Natural selection - All of the provided mechanisms can result in divergence. - Nonrandom mating

Which of the following are factors that can impact genetic variation in a population? (Select all that apply.) Lack of natural selection Random mating Mutation | Migration

Both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace acknowledged the influence of the economist Thomas Malthus in the development of their ideas about natural selection. Specifically, Malthus's ideas about geometric population growth implied that: only the largest and strongest individuals would survive survival of the fittest resources in every generation would be limited organisms should have as many offspring as possible organisms should have a few, very fit offspring who can compete for scarce resources

What does Hardy-Weinberg test?   The robustness of a population Whether a population is evolving How many alleles are in the gene pool The proportion of fitness in the population
