What does the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium measure?
|
|
changes in allele frequencies
|
|
|
numbers of mutations
|
|
|
goodness of fit
|
|
|
genetic diversity
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Knowing p and q, it is a simple matter to plug these values into the Hardy-Weinberg equation (p + 2pq + q = 1). This then provides the predicted frequencies of all three genotypes for the selected trait within the population.
