A population has a single locus with three alleles ( X 1, X 2 , and X 3 ). The frequencies of these alleles are p , q and r , respectively, and if p + q + r =1 , then the correct statement is

Options

  1. Athe population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
  2. Bthe population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because it has three alleles.
  3. Cthis information is insufficient to state whether the population is in HardyWeinberg equilibrium.
  4. Dthe population will be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if r =0 and p + q =1 .

Correct answer

C. this information is insufficient to state whether the population is in HardyWeinberg equilibrium.
