Lesson 4: Hardy-Weinberg

Question 1

The Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Answer 1

-the mathematical equation used to predict the expected allele genotypic frequencies in idealized populations
—deviations from expected frequencies
indicate that natural selection is
occurring

Question 2

The five conditions—idealized population

Answer 2

-in order for a population be at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium these five conditions must be met
1. Random Mating
2. No mutations
3. Isolation
4. No natural selection
5. Large population size

Question 3

Hardy-Weinberg Equation

Answer 3

p^2+2pq+q^2
p= frequency of dominant allele
q= frequency of recessive allele
p^2= AA
2pq= Aa
q^2= aa
