Which of the following is the Hardy-Weinberg principle used to study in the context of population genetics?
A
The synthesis of complex carbohydrates
B
Genetic equilibrium in a population
C
The structure of organic molecules
D
Chemical reactions in organic compounds
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the Hardy-Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics, not directly related to organic chemistry.
Recognize that the principle is used to describe the genetic equilibrium within a population, meaning it predicts how gene frequencies will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences.
Identify that the principle is not concerned with the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, the structure of organic molecules, or chemical reactions in organic compounds, which are topics more aligned with organic chemistry.
Recall that the Hardy-Weinberg principle provides a mathematical model to study genetic variation and allele frequencies in a population under ideal conditions.
Conclude that the correct context for the Hardy-Weinberg principle is the study of genetic equilibrium in a population, which is a key concept in understanding evolutionary biology and genetics.
