Hardy Weinberg Flashcards
1
Q
Hardy Weinberg Principle
A
A mathematical model which can be used to predict the allele frequencies in a population.
2
Q
Is the hardy Weinberg principle accurate?
A
Makes assumptions which impedes the accuracy.
3
Q
What does the hardy Weinberg equation assume?
A
No migration, no mutations, no selection favouring alleles, mating is random, population is large.
