Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. The total collection of all genes and alleles in a population is called the .
2. When allele frequencies in a population remain constant from generation to generation, the population is said to be in equilibrium.
3. The movement of alleles between populations is known as .
4. Which of the following is NOT a condition for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
No mutation
Random mating
Small population size
No natural selection
5. In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 have the genotype AA, 480 have Aa, and 160 have aa. Calculate the frequencies of the A and a alleles.
6. Genetic drift has a greater impact on allele frequencies in large populations.
True
False
7. Explain the difference between gene flow and genetic drift, and how each can affect allele frequencies in a population.
8. Observe the diagram of a DNA double helix below. Briefly describe what a gene is and how it relates to the concept of alleles in population genetics.
