A population has three genotypes, XX , XY and YY , where X is dominant over the Y allele. The number of each genotype in the population is as follows, XX =1185 , XY =3045 and YY =1300 individuals. Consider that there is random mating, no gene flow, no mutation and selection, and the population size is sufficiently large. The correct statement is

Options

  1. AThe population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and will remain the same if random mating is allowed for one g
  2. BThe population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium but will come to equilibrium if random mating is allowed f
  3. CThe population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and will deviate from equilibrium if selection is acting again
  4. DThe population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and will come to equilibrium if selection is acting agains

Correct answer

B. The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium but will come to equilibrium if random mating is allowed f
