Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium Equations Flashcards
1
Q
refer to…
A
frequency of one gene loci in a gene pool
2
Q
2 formulas
A
allele frequency (p+q = 1)
genotypic frequency (p² + 2pq + q²)
3
Q
P =
A
dominant allele
4
Q
Q =
A
recessive allele
5
Q
pq =
A
heterozygous genotype
6
Q
q² =
A
homozygous recessive genotype (FIND THIS FIRST)
7
Q
p² =
A
heterozygous dominant genotype
8
Q
when is evolution occuring?
A
if there is a shift in allele frequency over time
9
Q
what can cause the shift?
A
natural selection
sexual selection
mutation
gene flow
genetic drift
