Hardy Weinberg (E1)

Question 1

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium 5 conditions

Answer 1

1. No mutations
2. Random mating
3. No natural selection
4. Extremely large population size (No genetic drift)
5. No gene flow

Question 2

Genetic Drift

Answer 2

the change in allele over time due to chance
Can lead to loss of genetic variation within population, or cause harmful alleles to be fixed

Question 3

Bottleneck Effect

Answer 3

smaller populations, occurs when disasters happen, certain alleles take over, and some fade away

Question 4

Founder Effect

Answer 4

a small portion of the population is isolated, and new generations will have new genes
