Allele Frequency in Populations= Hardy-Weinberg Law

Question 1

What are the 5 conditions to where a population would be considered to be in equilibrium?

Answer 1

• No random mating
• No mutations
• No natural selection
• Has to be an isolated population
• It must be a large population

Question 2

What is the Hardy-Weinberg equation of equilibrium?

Answer 2

P^2+ 2PQ+ Q^2= 1

Question 3

What does the variable for P in the hardy-Weinberg equation stand for?

Answer 3

P stands for the dominant allele

Question 4

What does the variable Q stand for in the Hardy-Weinberg equation stand for?

Answer 4

Q stands for the recessive allele

Question 5

How do we determine population size?

Answer 5

-You add all of the genotypes together

Question 6

How do we determine the gene pool size?

Answer 6

-You multiply the population size by 2
