Question

the formula that calculates the frequency of genotypes and phenotypes that one would expect to find in a nonevolving population of mice is: the hardy-weinberg equilibrium. the bottleneck effect. the founder effect. genetic drift. the hardy-weinberg equation.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Hardy-Weinberg equation ($p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1$) calculates expected genotype frequencies in a non-evolving population. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the state described by this equation, while bottleneck effect, founder effect, and genetic drift are mechanisms of evolution that disrupt equilibrium, not formulas for calculating frequencies. Thus, the correct answer is the Hardy-Weinberg equation.

Answer:

the Hardy-Weinberg equation.
