True or False

1
The Hardy-Weinberg model shows that there is an inherent tendency for a dominant allele to become more frequent over time, whereas a recessive allele will become less frequent.
A)TRUE

2
If there is selection against a dominant allele, there will be selection for recessive homozygotes.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
3
Achondoplastic dwarfism is an example of a recessive allele in human beings.

Very small populations are more subject to gene flow than large populations.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE

Inbreeding often has harmful genetic effects.
A)TRUE

Directional selection refers to selection against both extremes of a trait's range in values.
A)TRUE

Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequency from one generation to the next.
A)TRUE

8
The founder effect is a type of genetic flow caused by the formation of a new population by a small number of individuals.
A)TRUE
B)FALSE
9
Mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow each act independently of one another to produce allele frequency change.
A)TRUE
