Question

what was the purpose of hardy and weinbergs work?

a. to learn how to control the mating of organisms
b. to count the total number of alleles in the world
c. to determine how allele frequency changes
d. to learn where genetic information is stored

Explanation:

The Hardy - Weinberg principle is used to study allele frequency changes in a population. It provides a baseline to compare against real - world populations where evolution (which causes allele frequency changes) occurs. Options A (controlling mating) is not its purpose. Option B (counting all alleles in the world) is too broad and not relevant. Option D (where genetic info is stored) is about DNA, not the principle's focus.

Answer:

C. To determine how allele frequency changes
