1- Explain how linkage disequilibrium and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are related? Describe how positive, negative, and balancing selection would affect two linked loci examined using these principles? What about UNLINKED loci?
2-Explain what the concept of “reinforcement” has to do with sympatric speciation. How does it apply to /allopatric/ speciation, and why?
3-Explain the Hardy-Weinberg assumption that NO POPULATION can meet? Why? Give specific examples and describe what the term “Effective population size” means. What sorts of parameters may make the “effective” population size different from the /actual/ population size.
