Lesson 4 Flashcards
Hardy-Weinberg
1
Q
The Hardy – Weinberg Principle
A
A mathematical equation used to predict the
expected allele and genotypic frequencies in
idealized populations.
Deviations from expected frequencies indicate that
natural selection is occurring.
2
Q
The Five Conditions
A
In order for a population to be at Hardy –
Weinberg Equilibrium these five conditions
must be met:
Random Mating
No mutations
Isolation
No Natural Selection
Large Population Size
