Problem 1: Explain how the Hardy-Weinberg Principle is a null hypothesis in evolutionary studies. In your response, explain what a null hypothesis is and how Hardy Weinberg serves as one. , why is Hardy Weinberg useful, and what can it show?
Problem 2: In a population of 2500, how many babies would you expect to have cystic fibrosis, a homozygous recessive condition, if the frequency of the dominant allele is 0.9 AND the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Show your math and, most importantly, explain it
