7.2: Populations

Question 1

gene pool

Answer 1

the total/all number of alleles in a population

Question 2

population of alleles

Answer 2

gene pool

Question 3

Allele frequency

Answer 3

the number of a particular allele of a particular gene in the gene pool

Question 4

the number of a particular allele of a particular gene in the gene pool

Answer 4

Allele frequency

Question 5

Genotype frequency

Answer 5

number of individuals who are AA, Aa, or aa within the gene pool

Question 6

number of individuals who are AA, Aa, or aa within the gene pool

Answer 6

Genotype frequency

Question 7

State the Hardy-Weinburg equation in words

Answer 7

The genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next, and so genotype frequency always stays the same

Question 8

What are five conditions that must be met for the hardy-weinburg equation to be true

Answer 8

1- no genetic mutations occur
2- all genotypes must be equally fertile, so that no selection occurs
3- mating is random
4- population is large
5- no immigration or emigration

Question 9

What is the hardy weinburg equation for allele frequency

Answer 9

p + q = 1
where p and q are the 2 different alleles

Question 10

What is the hardy weinburg equation for genotype frequency

Answer 10

p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where p and q are the 2 different alleles (homozygous for squared and heterozygous for 2pq)
