Is this population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? AA Aa aa 0.49 0.42 0.09 Hint: calculate the allele frequencies: p(A) and q(a) and then remember that under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium p2+ 2pq +q2= 1. With the allele frequencies calculated you can come up with the expected frequencies for AA, Aa, and aa under Hardy-Weinberg. If these expected frequencies match the frequencies you actually see above it is in HW equilibrium.

In a study of the effects of mutant forms of p53 (a tumor-suppressor gene), it was found that the presence of a mutated allele (abnormal p53) shut down the normal tumor-suppressing abilities of the wildtype p53 allele – causing abnormal cell-growth as if there were no normal p53 present at all. This mutated form of p53 would be an example of what? Choose all that apply.
