Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Question 1

Null model

Answer 1

Represents a circumstance where all of the variables considered to be of interest of no effect

Question 2

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Answer 2

A null model that if no selection, drift, gene flow or mutation occur and if mating is random with respect to the gene in question then :
- allele frequencies will not change between generation
- genotype frequencies = p2, 2pq, q2
where p and q = the 2 alleles

Question 3

Assortative mating

Answer 3

Mating based or similarities or diff in phenotype

Question 4

Inbreeding

Answer 4

Mating among relatives

Question 5

Gene pool

Answer 5

Concept used in predictions of results in random mating among individuals in a pop, supposing that all gametes are tossed in a “pool” and then drawn out at random to produce offspring

Question 6

5 assumptions

Answer 6

Population size is infinite (removes sampling error)

No mutations

No migration

No natural selection

Mating is completely random
