Consider a population of 919 individuals, in which a locus G/C determines the pigmentation in snow rabbits. GG and GC carriers show different patterns of gray pigmentation. In contrast, carriers of the recessive CC genotype are white This population is in HWE, and the number of white individuals is 341 individuals. Which of the following correspond to the recessive allele frequency? A. q = 0.16
B. q = 0.61
C. q = 0.2
D. 0.37

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
