Answer
To determine which populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we need to compare observed genotype frequencies with expected frequencies calculated under Hardy-Weinberg assumptions.
Solution
a
Identify the observed genotype frequencies in the population
b
Calculate the expected genotype frequencies using the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p2p^2 for the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq2pq for the frequency of the heterozygous genotype, and q2q^2 for the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype, where pp is the frequency of the dominant allele and qq is the frequency of the recessive allele
c
Compare the observed frequencies with the expected frequencies. If they are not significantly different, the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Key Concept
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Explanation
A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the observed genotype frequencies match the expected frequencies and there is no significant difference between them. This implies that the population is not evolving at the particular locus being studied.
