The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Hardy-Weinberg Principle**: The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes how allele frequencies in a population remain constant over generations under certain conditions. 2. **Conditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium**: For the allele frequencies to remain constant, the following conditions must be met: - No natural selection - Random mating - No mutation - No migration - Large population size (to minimize genetic drift) 3. **Allelic Frequencies**: The principle states that the sum of the frequencies of all alleles for a particular gene in a population is equal to 1. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ P + Q = 1 \] where: - \( P \) = frequency of the dominant allele - \( Q \) = frequency of the recessive allele 4. **Conclusion**: Since the sum of the allelic frequencies (P + Q) equals 1, the answer to the question regarding the sum total of all allelic frequencies according to the Hardy-Weinberg principle is **1**. ### Final Answer: The sum total of all the allelic frequencies is **1**. ---
