Genes in Population

Question 1

gene frequency

Answer 1

p + q = 1
p: dominant gene frequency
p: recessive gene frequency

Question 2

genotypic frequency

Answer 2

P + H + Q = 1
P: homozygous dominant
H: heterozygous
Q: homozygous recessive

Question 3

effects of selection

Answer 3

increases frequency of desired genes
genotypic catch up
selecting until one gene is evident

Question 4

inbreeding

Answer 4

increases homozygosity and decreases heterozygosity

Question 5

outbreeding

Answer 5

increases heterozygosity and decreases homozygosity

Question 6

Hardy-Weinberg Equation

Answer 6

1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
p2: homo dominant
2pq: hetero
q2: homo recessive
