Hardy Weinberg Flashcards
0
Q
What does the q stand for?
A
Frequency of recessive allele
1
Q
What is the hardy Weinberg equation?
A
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p + q = 1
2
Q
What does the p stand for?
A
Frequency of the dominant allele
3
Q

A
Frequency of homozygous dominant
4
Q

A
Frequency of homozygous recessive
5
Q
What does 2pq stand for?
A
Frequency of heterozygous
6
Q

A
1) large population size (infinite)
2) no gene flow
3) no net mutations
4) random mating
5) no differential selection among genotypes
