A
- The same organisms that can reproduce to create fertile offspring
2
Q
What is a population?
A
-The number of same species in on area that can reproduce to produce fertile offspring
3
Q
What’s a gene pool
A
-All of the alleles of all the genes in a population at one time
4
Q
What’s allelic frequency
A
The number of times the allies for a specific gene occurs within a gene pool
5
Q
What does the hardy Weinberg principle predict
A
-the Allelic frequency in a population will not change from generation to generation
6
Q
What are the occasions that allelic frequency cant
change ?
A
-mutation in gene
-iosolated and large sample
-mating is random
-no selection
7
Q
Why does a large and isolated population mean that allelic frequencies won’t change ?
A
-means no flow of alleles out and inside population.
