Explain the Hardy-Weinberg assumption that NO POPULATION can meet? Why? Give specific examples and describe what the term “Effective population size” means. What sorts of parameters may make the “effective” population size different from the /actual/ population size.

1. Inbreeding tends to increase the proportion of homozygous individuals in a population (i.e., individuals with two copies of the same allele).

A. True

B. False

2) The effective size of a population is:

A) The size of an idealized randomly-mating population that is not under selection and has the same heterozygosity as the actual population.

B)The size of an idealized randomly-mating population that has the same heterozygosity as the actual population, but does not lose heterozygosity over time.

C)The size of an idealized randomly-mating population losing homozygosity at the same rate as the actual population.

D) The size of an idealized randomly-mating population losing heterozygosity at the same rate as the actual population.

.

3) Which of the following tends to reduce the effective size of a population?

Check all that apply:

Increasing the census population size

An unbalanced sex ratio

Non-random mating

1-Define effective population size, list three factors that canalter it relative to a randomly mating population, and explain whythey alter it?

2-Discuss the difference between maintaining heterozygositywithin a subpopulation and maintaining allelic variation in theentire population
