Hardy Weinberg theorem is the relationship that related …….to allele frequencies.
a) phenotypes                     
b) genotypes
c) karyotype                        
d) all of these

b

Hardy-Weinberg principle is a crucial concept in ………
a) human genetics                              
b) evolution
c) population genetics      
d) ecology

c

Explanation: Population genetics is the study of the genetic composition of populations, including distributions and changes in genotype and phenotype frequency in response to the processes of natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and gene flow.


Hardy-Weinberg principle predicts how…….will be inherited from generation to generation given a specific set of assumption.
a) gene frequencies 
b) traits
c) phenotypic ratio                             
d) all of these

a

Explanation: Gene frequency can be defined as the fraction or percentage of a population that carries allele (i.e., one type of a gene variant) at a particular locus


According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, the allelic frequencies will remain the from generation to generation in absence of following conditions…….
a) mutation and natural selection
b) infinite large population and members of the population breed
c) random mating, same number of offspring and no gene flow
d) all of these
