Question 2 of 10

A biologist measures the allele frequencies of pea plants in a very controlled
environment. The plants can either have a dominant tall allele (7) or a
recessive short allele (t). Which of the following would be a reason that this
population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A. There are no mutations in the alleles for height.
OB. Tall plants are more likely to survive.
C. The pea flowers are pollinated at random.
OD. All of the pea plants reproduce exactly once.

Answer: The Hardy- Weinberg theory states that frequencis of alleles and genotypes will remain constant from generations to generationss without the evolutionary influences. From your choices, the three supports the Hardy- Weinberg equilibrim but letter C does not. There must be no new allele to be produced fro the mutation of the pea plant.
