Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic equilibrium refers to a state of stability in gene frequencies through generations.

Answer: B
 A hallmark of genetic isolation is the reproductive isolation of a group from other groups.

Answer: C
 The genes of an entire population collectively make up the gene pool.

Answer: E
 The frequency of dominant and recessive alleles in a population determines the genetic makeup of the population.

Answer: F
 The frequency of heterozygotes in a population is an indicator of genetic diversity.

Answer: G
 The frequency of homozygous recessives in a population is important in understanding the occurrence of genetic disorders.

Answer: H
 Heterozygote advantage refers to the selective advantage of individuals with two different alleles for a gene under certain conditions.

Answer: I
 The evolution of pesticide resistance in insects is an example of natural selection at work.
