Female mosquitoes spread diseases when they bite humans to obtain blood. It is only the females that do the biting. Research is being done
to alter the DNA of the male mosquitoes. The altered males could
then mate with the normal female mosquitoes. All of the resulting
offspring would have wing defects that prevent them from flying.
The method used to alter the male mosquitoes is an example of an

14) 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.
