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

Ironically, the focus of this lab is the Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium - conditions that, if all met, will result in NOevolution occurring. Which of the following are among theconditions that must be met for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium toapply perfectly to a population?
