Want to know:
You then sample a second opossum population that has the same starting allele frequency and find that the proportion of A1 homozygotes (A1A1 individuals) is 90%. Assuming that values within 5% of the Hardy-Weinburg expectation are considered at equilibrium, you would likely say thatA.) No evolution is occurring in this population.B.) There might be weak evidence of a process like drift or selection in the second opossum population.C.) There is strong evidence that evolution is occurring in the second opossum population.
