HWB Flashcards
1
Q
5 conditions to measure current alleles
A
No migration Random sexual reproduction (no choosing) No natural selection No mutations Very large pop. Size
*They chose to migrate before natural selection to avoid mutations by leaning the large population
2
Q
What is the frequency
A
Decimal
3
Q
How many alleles/individuals
A
Whole number
4
Q
Diploidy
A
2nd set of chromosomes hides variation in the heterozygote
5
Q
How we preserve variation
A
Heterozygous alleles!
6
Q
Balanced polymorphism
A
When the heterzygote had the advantage, ex. Sickle cell and malaria
7
Q
Why put constraints on population?
A
To be able to calculate p&Q
8
