SAT 2021
A population of dingos finds a new habitat to exploit due to the disappearance of one of their natural predators. They reproduce sexually and at random. Their population is supplemented by dingos from other packs entering their pack. They are able to hunt multiple species and have plenty of food. They are healthy and free of diseases. How do we know the assumptions for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium have been violated?
- A. Sexual reproduction is not occurring
- B. The population size is not infinitely large
- C. Other dingos are migrating to the population
- D. They are free of disease
Correct Answer: C. Other dingos are migrating to the population
Explanation
If other dingos are supplementing the population, we know that migration is occurring. Migration cannot occur if a population is to satisfy the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
