Answer:

THE NIGHTMARE

I woke up with a start, sweating profusely, my heart pounding erratically against my chest. My hands were shaking uncontrollably and I held my pillow close to my chest to clam my nerves. I had heard it. There was no doubt in it. A loud, high-pitched shriek, which sounded nothing like a human cry. It was surreal, making a shiver to creep up my spine. I twisted my hands together in nervousness, and murmured a prayer to god. The ghostly sound had resonated from beneath my bed. I had read way too many horror stories to not be scared by now. My throat felt dry and parched and I longed for a sip of water. But I had to go downstairs to fetch the jug. That meant I had to get down from my bed. And there was no way I would do that. Not now, when I was literally scared to death. I swallowed hard. My breathing had slowed down a bit but my heartbeat was still erratic. I perked up my ears and waited to see if the shrieks continued. I badly wanted to cover myself with my blanket but I was too scared to move an inch. I waited for about a minute and could hear no sound. This eased me a bit. Just when I mustered the courage to lie back down and go back to sleep, I felt a shadow whisk past me, sending the curtains flying. I brought my hands to my mouth to stop myself from crying out in terror. It was the silhouette of a girl, a tall, slender figure that I was sure by now was somewhere around me. I felt my eyes brimming with tears but I held my cries back. It was when the shadow reappeared, this time closer to me, near my nightstand. And before I could register what was happening or cry out loud for help, the figure advanced towards me, and all of a sudden, held me in a death grip. I felt myself being choked so tightly that no sound was escaping my mouth, black dots swimming in my vision. Soon enough, I plunged into darkness. After what felt like hours, I opened my eyes to be greeted with the golden rays of the sun streaming in through the window near my bed. I had a slightly blurry memory of yesterday night. I felt around my surroundings, and was met by relief when I could feel the blankets and my pillow beside me. Overjoyed by the fact that I was safe, and that it all had been just a silly nightmare, I thanked God and got out of bed to start my day.

State the five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
mihalych1998 [28]

When it comes to population evolution and genetics, we cannot fail to cite the Hardy-Weinberg principle which emphasizes that if evolutionary factors such as natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic oscillation do not act on a particular population, the frequencies genotypic proportions will remain constant.

The five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

  • Large-scale breeding population: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is important that this population is large, as small populations favor genetic drift (unanticipated fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to another).
  • Random mating: In order for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur, it is necessary that the mating occur at random, with no preference for certain groups within the population. In this case, we say that the population is in panmixia, that is, they all mate at random.
  • No mutations: Mutations alter the total alleles present in a population (gene pool). Therefore, in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium population, no mutations should occur.
  • No gene flow: When there is gene flow due to migration or immigration of individuals, some genes may be included or excluded from the population. Thus, in an equilibrium situation, no gene flow occurs.
  • Lack of natural selection: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection must not be acting on it. If natural selection acts, some genotypes will be selected, modifying the allelic frequencies of the population.
