This is an example of a quiz in bs182h Evolutionary genetics of the major histocompatibility complex. HEDRICK PW. 1994. AM. NAT. 143: 945-964. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) {C&R ch 43} … was first studied because of its importance in tissue transplantation and the immune system in humans. there is an observed deficiency of homozygotes. {The MHC is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium} Quiz: a) What is implied by the observation that the frequencies of alleles at the MHC loci are not as would be expected for the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium distribution? b) What two processes are most likely to be causing this pattern?
