populations

Question 1

what does the hardy weinberg equation calculate

Answer 1

calculate the allele frequency in a non evolving population

Question 2

gene pool

Answer 2

alleles of all the induviduals in a population at one time

Question 3

allele freq

Answer 3

how common an allele is in the gene pool on a scale of 0 to 1

Question 4

assumptions of the hardy weinberg equation

Answer 4

• large pop
• no migration
• no mutation
• no sleection
• random mating

Question 5

what is the first equation of hw

Answer 5

p+q=1

freq of dom allele (p)
freq of reccessive allele (q)

Question 6

what is the second hw equation

Answer 6

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

p2 = freq of hom dom
q2 = freq of hom rec
2pq = freq of het

can always find q2 by counting recessive phenotype
