Genetic Variation starts at 9 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Genetic Variation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has allele frequencies of p = 0.6 and q = 0.4. What is the expected frequency of heterozygotes?
A population of 1000 individuals has two alleles, A and a. If the frequency of allele A is 0.7, what is the frequency of allele a?
A population of 200 individuals has 120 individuals with genotype AA, 60 with Aa, and 20 with aa. What is the frequency of allele a?
A population of 500 individuals has 200 with genotype BB, 250 with Bb, and 50 with bb. What is the frequency of allele B?
A population of birds is separated by a mountain range, and over time, the two groups develop different genetic traits. What process is responsible for this genetic divergence?
Describe how artificial selection can affect genetic variation.
Describe how gene flow can affect the genetic variation of a population.
Describe how non-random mating can affect genetic variation in a population.
Describe the difference between genetic drift and natural selection in terms of their effects on genetic variation.
Describe the founder effect and its impact on genetic variation.
Explain how crossing over during meiosis increases genetic variation.
Explain how sexual reproduction contributes to genetic variation.
Explain the difference between genotype and phenotype in the context of genetic variation.
Explain the role of mutations in generating genetic diversity.
Explain why genetic variation is important for the survival of a species.
Explain why small populations are more susceptible to genetic drift.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle predicts that allele frequencies will remain constant if which of the following conditions are met?
