Graduate students studying population genetics are assigned the task of determining the allele frequencies of gene Z in a population. After their study is completed, the graduate students report that the frequency of allele ZA is 67%, and the frequency of allele ZB is 23%. What conclusion can you draw from these results?
a. The studied population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
b. The sample size in this study was too small to produce accurate results.
c. At least one more allele of gene Z exists in the studied population.
d. The studied population is evolving toward a fully homozygous genotype.
c. At least one more allele of gene Z exists in the studied population.
