MCQ on Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium with Answers (PDF)

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle that describes the genetic composition of a population when allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation, provided that certain conditions such as random mating, no selection, no mutation, large population size, and no gene flow are met. It serves as a null model for the study of evolutionary processes. This law provides the foundation for calculating genetic variation in populations under ideal conditions.

MCQ on Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

Welcome to your MCQ on Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

1. 
Which of the following is an assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

2. 
If the frequency of allele "A" is p and the frequency of allele "a" is q, which equation represents the Hardy-Weinberg principle for a two-allele system?

3. 
In a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the dominant allele (A) is 0.7. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (a)?

4. 
If 16% of a population exhibits a recessive phenotype (aa), what is the frequency of the recessive allele (q) in the population?

5. 
Which of the following is NOT a factor that can cause deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
