Based on the patterns observed, what potential reasons would explain why the population would be out of HWE ? Please select all that apply. Directional selection Stabilizing selection Disruptive selection Hartnup disease is an autosomal-recessive disorder of intestinal and renal transport of amino acids. The frequency of affected newborns is about 1 in every 14,000. Assuming random mating, a heterozygote would be born around once every

Step 1
HWE assumes that a population is not evolving, and there are five conditions that must be met for a population to be in HWE: no mutations, random mating, no natural selection, extremely large population size, and no gene flow. If any of these conditions are not Show more…

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium will hold if all of the following evolutionary forces are absent from the population EXCEPT WHICH ONE? natural selection (B) random mating (C) migration (D) mutation 16. These evolutionary forces tend to increase diversity within populations: mutation (B) genetic drift gene flow (D) natural selection all of these may - but two of these answers are correct more often all of these may - but usually is natural selection Which population is the LEAST likely to experience large amounts of random genetic drift? large population small population population that was once large but has gone through several bottlenecks (D) new population founded by fairly few individuals

Questions $23-25$ In a certain population of rabbits in the midwestern United States, there are two alleles for coat color, brown and white. Brown is dominant, and white is recessive. The frequency of white-colored rabbits is 9$\% .$ Wolves are also present in the area, and rabbits constitute a major portion of their diet. Foxes recognize prey when they do not blend in to the environment. If the climate were to change so that snow covered the ground much of the time, what change in the population of rabbits would you expect? (A) The frequency of the white allele would increase. (B) The frequency of the white allele would decrease. (C) The frequency of the brown allele would increase. (D) The population of wolves would decrease and then increase. (E) The population of wolves would increase and then decrease.
