Q

what does the theory of evolution state

A
  • all living organisms evolved from different ancestor species
  • you can observe change over a long period a time

Q

what does the hardy-weinberg principle of equilibrium state

A
  • population’s allele and genotype frequencies are inherently stable unless some kind of evolutionary force is acting upon the population
  • assuming allele frequencies do not change from one generation to another
  • assumes conditions with no mutations, migration, emigration
  • no population can satisfy these conditions
  • theory just used as a model to compare real population changes

Q

what are the 5 assumptions necessary for the hardy-weinberg model
