For the following situations, explain whether the Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium would be maintained generation after generation:a) a population of African violets maintained by a plantbreeder b) the population of the black fly, Simulium venustum, innorthern Ontario c) a racoon population living in Humber Valley in westToronto d) a newly discovered bird population on a remote island offthe coast of British Columbia
a) a population of African violets maintained by a plantbreeder b) the population of the black fly, Simulium venustum, innorthern Ontario c) a racoon population living in Humber Valley in westToronto d) a newly discovered bird population on a remote island offthe coast of British Columbia
Explanation / Answer
answer may
d) a newly discovered bird population on a remote island off thecoast of British Columbia
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(frequency of alleles ) would bemaintained generation after generation ,in mendelianpopulation with absence of all evolutionary forces.
it may be possible in island off the coast of BritishColumbia only
