Albinism in humans occurs when both alleles at a locus produce defective enzymes in the biochemical pathway leading to melanin. Given that heterozygotes are normally pigmented, which of the following statements is/are correct?
a. One normal allele produces as much melanin as two normal alleles.
b. Each defective allele produces a little bit of melanin.
c. Two normal alleles are needed for normal melanin production.
d. The two alleles are codominant.
e. The amount of sunlight will not affect skin color of heterozygotes.

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.
