Document Summary
If a population begins mating assortatively for a certain trait, but all genotypes have the same fitness, what will happen? intermediate dominance. Both homozygotes will only produce homozygotes however heterozygotes this perturbs hwe but does not cause evolution will produce both types of homozygotes as well as heterozygotes. Proportion of heterozygotes will decrease from generation to generation as more homozygotes are produced. Relative frequency of alleles is not changing. A coherent set of testable hypotheses that attempt to explain facts about the natural world. Theory an assumption based on limited knowledge a conjecture ex. Atomic theory of matter, germ theory of infections disease, gravitational theory. You have to be able to prove it wrong somehow in order for it to be a theory. When there is so much evidence that it is considered extremely perverse/willfully ignorant to deny it theories graduate to fact-hood after repeated testing fails to falsify them things that cannot be falsified are not scientific (ex.
