Hardy Weinberg

Question 1

What the equation of HW?

Answer 1

p^2 +2pq + q^2 =1

Question 2

What is HW used for

Answer 2

• calculate expected f of genotype if no evolution

Question 3

What assumptions does HW make

4

Answer 3

• random fusion gametes
• pop is inf large (non genetic drift)
• no changes in allele f between generations (no natural selection/ gene flow/genetic drift)
• if pop not at eq the 1 assumption violated

Question 4

If p+q = 1 is it at eq?

Answer 4

No

Question 5

If p^2 +2pq + q^2 =1 is pop at eq?

Answer 5

No
