What kind of test would best determine whether genotypic frequencies match the Hardy-Weinberg model? Group of answer choices T-test between dominant and recessive alleles T-test between homozygous and heterozygous Chi-square with three rows (homozygous dominant, heterozygous, homozygous recessive) Chi-square with two rows (dominant and recessive alleles)

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will Option C (Chi-square with three rows).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hardy Weinberg technique is being used to predict the genetic frequency. Once one allele is established than another allele could be calculated when they're in equilibrium.
  • ⇒ P+Q = 1
  • The chi-square 3-row test is being used to assess is not whether the Weinberg's model suits whether genotypic.

The other three options are not related to the given scenario. So that option C is the right answer.
