Chapter 25.1. Animation Activity: The Hardy-Weinberg Law

A population consists of 300 individuals where 58 of them are homozygous for the red color allele (A) and 120 of them are homozygous for the blue color allele (a). What is the frequency of individuals with an AA genotype in the population?

A population consists of 300 individuals where 58 of them are homozygous for the red color allele (A) and 120 of them are homozygous for the blue color allele (a). What are the frequencies of the A and a alleles respectively?

The individuals of this population mate randomly and never move (i.e., there is no migration into or out of the population), and mutation also doesn’t occur. Each couple has two children and the parents die after having their second child, so the population size doesn’t change. Which of the following is true about the next generation of this population?

This second generation also reproduces to produce a third generation. All of the rules that applied to the parent population also apply to the second generation. Which of the following is true about the third generation of this population?
