Population Genetics

Question 1

five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg population genetics

Answer 1

1. random mating
2. no natural selection
3. no migration or emigration
4. large populations
5. no mutations

Question 2

If 5 specific conditions exist, gene frequencies in a population remain constant and this law can be applied to predict the frequency of alleles and phenotypes

Answer 2

hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Question 3

Equation: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Answer 3

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p + q = 1
Note: 
p = frequency of dominant allele
q = frequency of recessive allele
p^2 = frequency of homozygous dominant
q^2 = frequency of homorzygous recessive
2pq = frequency of heterozygous individuals
