Essay

Suppose that in a population of diploid organisms, a certain gene has only two alleles and mating is random (with respect to this gene, at least). Draw a graph showing how the frequency of heterozygotes in the population would vary depending on the frequency of the alleles in the population, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Hint: On the y-axis, plot the frequencies of heterozygotes as the frequency of one allele (on the x-axis) increases from 0 to 1 in intervals of 0.1 (0, 0.1, 0.2, etc.).
