How is the total number of alleles in a population calculated?
total number of alleles in a population is calculated by summing all the alleles from homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, and heterozygous individuals.
At what level does evolution occur ?
Evolution occurs at the population level
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, what happens to allelic frequencies in a population if no external forces act upon them?
Allelic frequencies will remain constant, and the population will be in genetic equilibrium.

what is one of the five conditions for a population to remain in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
population is very large , no immigration or emigration , random mating , no mutations , no natural selection
What can cause changes in allele frequencies in a population?
Changes in allele frequencies can occur due to factors like mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, or non-random mating.
Who solved the problem of how evolution occurs, and what principle did they formulate?
Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg, Hardy-Weinberg principle
What are one thing that must happen for evolution to occur according to evolutionary theory?
1-individuals must be able to increase 2- genetic variation 3-must compete for limited resources 4-organisms that can survive in the environment increase
