Question

Which of the following statements is supported by the graph below? a The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, as the sum of the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele is always equal to 1 b The percentage of individuals homozygous recessive for this particular trait is increasing over time c Selection has caused frequencies to change over time because individuals with a dominant allele survive at higher rates than individuals with recessive alleles d Individuals who are homozygous recessive for this particular trait have migrated into the population, causing the frequency to approach 1

Answer 1

c Selection has caused frequencies to change over time because individuals with a dominant allele survive at higher rates than individuals with recessive alleles
