(8.5) Hardy-Weinberg principle

Question 1

Assumptions of HW Principle (5)

Answer 1

No mutations 
Isolated pop; no flow in/out
No selection; (all alleles equally likely to be passed on)
Large population 
Mating w/i population; random

Question 2

HW equation

Answer 2

P2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

Question 3

Assumptions of HW Principle

Answer 3

Mathematical equation; calculate the frequencies of alleles of a particular gene in a population

Proportion of D & R alleles of a gene in population same from generation to generation
