Question 1

Population

Answer 1

Group of organisms of same species occupying particular space at particular time than can potentially interbreed

Question 2

Gene pool

Answer 2

Total of all alleles of all genes of all individuals in population at particular time

Question 3

Allele frequency

Answer 3

Number of times an allele occurs in gene pool

Question 4

Equation for allele frequency of single gene in population

Answer 4

p + q = 1
p = frequency of dominant allele
q = frequency of recessive allele

Question 5

Issue with p + q = 1

Answer 5

Must know which individuals homozygous / heterozygous

Question 6

Hardy Weinberg equation

Answer 6

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p = frequency of dominant allele
p2 = homozygous dominant
q = frequency of recessive allele
q2 = homozygous recessive
2pq = heterozygous dominant

Question 7

Hardy Weinberg assumptions

Answer 7

No mutations
Population isolated
No selection pressure
Population large
Mating random

Question 8

Carriers

Answer 8

Have allele but not trait

Question 9

Which equation should you use?

Answer 9

Tell you heterozygous = allele frequency
Don’t know = Hardy Weinberg
