HL ONLY Hardy-Weinberg Practice

p + q = 1. If p represents the dominant allele frequency, what would q represent?

• the homozygous dominant genotype frequency

• the recessive allele frequency

• the total amount of alleles in the population

• a measure of fitness in the population

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, q is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 

• the dominant allele

• the recessive genotype

• the dominant genotype

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, q² is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 

• the dominant allele

• the recessive genotype

• the dominant genotype

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, p² is the frequency of what?

• The recessive allele 

• the dominant allele

• the recessive genotype

• the dominant genotype

p + q always equals 1. Which answer choice best explains this?

• 1 individual could have a dominant or a recessive allele.

• The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The 1 indicates that the population has not evolved.

• In terms of frequency, 1 is the highest possible number you can have.

• In terms of frequency, 1 is the same as 100%. All alleles in a population added up give you 100% of the alleles.

0.7 + q = 1 What's the missing value?

A rather large population of foxes has 555 individuals with tan fur and 390 individuals with red fur. Assume that red is recessive.

What should you try to start with?

• p

• q

• q²

• p²

A rather large population of foxes has 555 individuals with tan fur and 390 individuals with red fur. Assume that red is recessive.

If you started with q² what do you find next?

• p

• q

• q²

• p²

A rather large population of foxes has 555 individuals with tan fur and 390 individuals with red fur. Assume that red is recessive.

Now that you have q, what should you solve for next?

• p

• q

• q²

• p²
