What Information Would Scientists Use to Calculate Allele Frequencies in a Human

Question

What information would scientists use to calculate allele frequencies in a human population?
A) the Hardy-Weinberg theorem
B) DNA technology
C) physical characteristics of fossils
D) Punnett squares

Accepted Answer

To calculate allele frequencies in a human population, scientists would use DNA technology to analyze the genetic information of individuals in the population. This would allow them to determine the frequency of different alleles present in the population. The Hardy-Weinberg theorem and Punnett squares are tools used to predict the frequency of alleles in a population, but they do not provide direct measurements of these frequencies. Physical characteristics of fossils are not relevant to the calculation of allele frequencies in living human populations.
