The diagram to the right represents a pair of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell, and the resulting chromosome in a haploid cell. The letters represent alleles of genes. Why does the chromosome in the haploid cell have alleles from both of the chromosomes in the diploid cell?

When explaining dominant and recessive traits to a younger family member, they respond, "well chances are i can probably taste ptc, since dominant traits are more common." how might you address this misconception?

14) 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.
