In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, p^2 represents the frequency of: a) The homozygous dominant genotype b) The homozygous recessive phenotype c) The recessive allele d) The dominant allele A species of frog is introduced into a new environment. Environment helps to prevent any exponential population growth. Instead, the population experiences exponential growth without causing any environmental impact.

a. A population has 100 homozygous dominant individuals (AA), 372 heterozygous individuals, and 40 homozygous recessive individuals (aa). What is the frequency of the" a" allele -------- . Is the population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium--------(yes or no) ? NOTE: For [b] simply enter yes or no. b. Which of the following represents no natural selection? Group of answer choices equal fitness no sexual selection gene flow

Which of the following is the best definition of evolution? Individuals change over time Organisms adapt to the environment A change in allele frequencies in a population over time Changes in populations caused by natural selection Which of the following must be true for a population to be considered in a state of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (check all that apply) The population must be large There can be no selection Individuals must mate at random There can be no mutation No individuals can leave or enter the population
