Document Summary
The ter(cid:373) (cid:862)(cid:374)(cid:863) refers to the size of a populatio(cid:374), that is, the (cid:374)u(cid:373)(cid:271)er of i(cid:374)di(cid:448)iduals i(cid:374) that population. In general, in a sample of n individuals, the frequency of an allele is ______: the number of occurrences of the allele divided by twice the number of individuals in the sample (2n) If a population is not in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, we can conclude that: evolution has occurred because one of the assumptions of the hardy-weinberg equilibrium has been violated. The goldenrod gall fly lays its eggs on the buds of goldenrod plants. Larvae hatch from the eggs and then chew through the goldenrod buds and into the stems. The gall fly larvae saliva induces the goldenrod to generate a gall (an outgrowth of tissue, a ball-shaped swelling on the stem). The larva will live inside the gall which provides food and shelter for the developing larva. The larvae are prey of both parasitoid wasps and birds.
