Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

Question 1

What does the hardy Weinberg equilibrium equation show?

Answer 1

there should be no change in the gene pool of a sexually reproducing population that possesses 5 conditions

Question 2

what are the 5 conditions ?

Answer 2

1) large population
2) mutational equilibrium
3) immigration or emigration must not change the gene pool
4) random muring
5) no selection for the fittest organism
A population with these 5 characteristics is considered to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Question 3

p2 +2pq+q2

Answer 3

predicts the genotype frequency of a gene with only two alleles in a population in hart Weinberg equilibrium
p is the dom allele
q is the recessive allele
p+q=1
