You have spent time working with a population of beetles. males range in size from 2 to 6 cm in body length. you realize that the females only mate with males that measure less than 3 cm long. if you measured allele frequencies at a single locus that contributes to overall body length, would you expect this population to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium for the body length gene from one generation to the next?
select one:
a. yes
b. no

b. No

Explanation:

For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is necessary that the crossings be made completely at random, in the most random way possible. This is not what is happening in the population shown in the question above. This is because if, females only mate with males that are 3 cm long, it means that the crossings are not random, this is occurring preferentially in a specific group of males.

the "dirty dozen" chemicals banned in an international treaty are formally known as persistent organic pollutants, or pops. the united nations environment program provided this background on what they are and what they can do to humans and wildlife.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
