Hardy Weinberg Principle

Question 1

What does the Hardy Weinberg principle state?

Answer 1

• Frequency of alleles in a population remains constant from generations

Question 2

Under what conditions?

Answer 2

• no natural selection
• no sexual selection
• no mutation
• no genetic drift
• no gene flow

Question 3

What are the formaulas?

Answer 3

p + q = 1
- p = frequency of dominant alleles
- q = frequency of recessive alleles

Question 4

What is the second formula?

Answer 4

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
- p^2 - homozygous domainant genotype
- pq = heterozygous genotype
- q^2 - homozygous recessive genotype
