What is the significance of gene and genotype frequencies

Answer 4

Question 5

What does the Hardy-Weinburg principle provide?-

Answer 5

• It provides a mathematical relationship between gene frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population

Question 6

What does they hardy-weinburg assume

Answer 6

-There is random mating
-No evolutionary influences such as selection,mutation or migration

Question 7

When can all genotypes be directly observed and counted

Answer 7

When they are co dominant

Question 8

What are the implications of hardy weinburg principle

Answer 8

• Provides a baseline for comparing real populations to see if evolutionary forces are at work
• Deviation suggest processes like selection,Mutation,migration or non-random mating
