Topic 7.5 - Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium 𖦹⋆｡°✩ Flashcards
1
Q
what is a Hardy Weinberg model
A
describes and predicts the frequencies of alleles in a nonevolving population
2
Q
what happens in a hardy weinberg environment
A
the frequencies of alleles stay the same generation after generation
3
Q
what 5 conditions must be met for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A
༻ large population
༻ absence of migration
༻ no net mutation
༻ random mating
༻ absence of selection
4
Q
what do these conditions provide
A
a valuable null hypothesis
5
Q
what factors disrupt equilibrium and change allele frequencies in a population
A
༻ mutations
༻ non-random mating
༻ gene flow
༻ genetic drift
༻ natural selection
