Population Genetics Flashcards
1
Q
Gene/allele pool
A
total of all the alleles in a population
2
Q
How to calculate trait frequency
A
no times trait is observed / total observations
3
Q
Hardy-Weinberg principle
A
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
4
Q
Criteria for Hardy-Weinberg principle
A
- random mating
- no mutation
- large population size
- no natural selection
- no emigration/immigration
5
Q
heterozygote advantage
A
traits given by both alleles prove to be better than having only 1 set of traits
