Calculating the Number of Carriers in a Population Using Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
A population of 200 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with allele frequency of ‘A’ = 0.7 and ‘a’ 0.3. The number of carriers in population will be (1) 18 (2) 42 […]
Disruptive Selection: The Evolutionary Force Favoring Extremes Over Intermediates
If the two extreme morphological forms are favored against heterozygotes, such a selection is termed as (1) Disruptive (2) Directional (3) Stabilizing (4) Cyclic Introduction Evolution shapes populations in remarkable […]

In a population with two alleles ‘B’ and ‘b’ having allele frequency 0.7 and 0.3 in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many individuals in a sample of 250 can be expected to […]
How to Calculate Allele Frequency Ratios for ABO Blood Groups: Understanding O, A, and B Distribution
Frequency of blood group O in population is 25% and allele for Blood group A and B are equally frequent. What would be the ratio of Allele frequency between blood […]
Calculating Genotype Frequencies After One Generation of Random Mating: Hardy-Weinberg Application
13. In a population frequency of A1 is 0.75 and A2 is 0.25. After one generation of random matting, the genotype frequency of A1 A1, A1 A2 and A2 A2 […]
