Hardy Weinberg Flashcards
1
Q
Evolutionary Mechanisms acting within population
A
Genetic drift
Mutations
Recombination
Selection
2
Q
Hardy Weinberg principle
A
A population that is not evolving shows allele and genotypic frequencies that are in in HWE
If not in HWE, can be concluded that population is evolving
3
Q
Population
A
A group of individuals within a species that are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring
4
Q
Hardy Weinberg Theorem
A
Frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population remain constant from generation to generation
5
Q
Requirements in order to be in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
A
1) No mutations
2) No migrations
3) No selection
4) Random mating
5) Large population
