Question

If some individuals in a population have a ______________ number of offspring than others the overall genetic makeup of the population will _________________. (2 points)

smaller, change

larger, remain constant

different, not change

larger, not change

Answer 1

what do you think?

Answer 2

I THINK TH SECOND ANSWER..@thomaster

Answer 3

@thomaster

Answer 4

why do you think that?

Answer 5

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. When mating is random in a large population with no disruptive circumstances, the law predicts that both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium.

Answer 6

because it remains constant

Answer 7

yea the hardy weinberg equilibrium says that there are no disruptive circumstances. There are disruptive circumstances in this case: the number of offspring is larger in answer B. So that's not correct.

Answer 8

the equilibrium you mentioned explains this question.
When you change circumstances, the gene variation will change.
So which answer shows a change in circumstances and the genetic markup of the population?

Answer 9

so do i have the right answer

Answer 10

I just told you B was NOT correct. so no, you don't have the right answer.
