A genetic study conducted over multiple generations found that the frequency of genotypes in the first generation were AA: 0.36,
Aa: 0.48, and aa: 0.16. In the second generation, genotype frequencies shifted to AA: 0.16, Aa: 0.48, and aa: 0.36. According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can assume_______a. Random mating has altered gene frequencies. b. Gene flow has possibly shifted the gene frequencies. c. Mating in this population must be nonrandom mating. d. Both b and c.
Option (c) is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:
Nonrandom mating happens when the chance of matting two individuals in a given population isn't really the same across all potential human pairs. Outcompeting-Individuals are more likely than family members to match with distant relatives. This is somewhat less prevalent.
Organisms may tend to match with someone of the same genotype or of genetic background in non-random mating. Non-random marriage does not alter the dos fluctuations in the community by itself, though it may modify the fluctuations of the gene.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
