Question

A population of 1000 individuals is found to have an almost

equal number of AA, Aa and aa genotypes. What is the most likely
explanation?

Answer 1

The hardy-Weinberg OR Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium is the model that describes that the frequency of genotype and allele frequency remain constant if there is no evolutionary influences, generation to generation.

According to this model:

p+ q = 1

p² + q²+ 2pq= 1

Thus, the given case does not follow the Hardy Weinberg principle which means there is some type of influence of the evolutionary change is occurred in the particular population.
