Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

AP Biology· difficulty 3/5

Continuing the previous problem (p = 0.8, q = 0.2): expected HWE genotype counts are AA = 64, Aa = 32, aa = 4 — which matches observed. The population is

A
$Currently evolving rapidly at this gene$
B
$Recovering from a recent genetic bottleneck$
C
$In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this gene$

D
$Experiencing strong inbreeding right now$

Explanation

Observed = expected \to no detectable departure from HWE for this locus.
