Hardy-Weinberg Equation
Hardy-Weinberg Principles - Answer 1) Sexual reproduction alone does not lead to
evolution
2) The frequency of each allele in a gene pool will remain constant
unless other factors are operating on the population
Gene pool - Answer
p - Answer Frequency of dominant allele
q - Answer Frequency of recessive allele
p+q= - Answer 1
p^2 - Answer frequency of a homozygous dominant individual
q^2 - Answer frequency of a homozygous recessive individual
2pq - Answer frequency of a heterozygous individual
p^2+2pq+q^2= - Answer 1
Equilibrium - Answer members of population mate randomly, allele and
genotype variation remains constant
The equation says that... - Answer something other than reshuffling process in sexual
reproduction is required to change of allele frequencies in a
population
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Condition - Answer 1) Very large population
2) No gene flow between populations
3) No mutations
4) Random mating
5) No natural selection
Small population - Answer more fluctuation in allele frequencies between
generations.
Immigration/emigration - Answer gene flow which alters the gene pool
Mutations - Answer Modify gene pool
Preferential mating prevents random mixing - Answer Genotype frequencies change but
allele frequencies stay the same.
Differential survival and reproductive success (natural selection) - Answer Alter allele
