A) Both members of a human couple know that they are carriers of the galactosemia allele, a recessive metabolic disorder. None of their three children have the disease, but any of them may be a carrier. The couple would like to have a fourth child, but they are worried that the child would very likely have the disease since the first three do not. If the couple came to you with their worries, what would you tell them?
b) Would it remove any of the uncertainty in their prediction if they could find out from genetic tests whether their first three children are carriers of the disease? Why or why not?

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
