hardy weinberg principle Flashcards
this principle states that
allele frequency in a population are stable and is constant from generation to generation
states that
gene pool remains constant
gene pool
total genes and their alleles in a population
sum total of all allelic frequency
1
as per genetic equilibrium
sum total of all allelic frequency in a population is 1
algebraic equation
p2+q2+2pq=1
explain hardy weingberg principle with the algebraic eq
in a population of diploid organism if frequency of allele A=p and frequency of allele a=q
then the expected genotype frequency under random mating is-
AA=p2 aa=q2 Aa=2pq
the gene pool in a population remains constant
in other words
sum total of allele frequencies is one so
p2+q2+2pq=1
