Question 1

what is it used for?

Answer 1

mathematic model used to determine allele frequency

Question 2

what is a gene pool?

Answer 2

= all the alleles of all genes in a population at one time

Question 3

what is a population?

Answer 3

= all the individuals of one species in one area at one time

Question 4

what is allle frequency?

Answer 4

proportion of alleles in a gene pool

Question 5

what does it assume?

Answer 5

= that there is no change i allele frequency between generations in a population

Question 6

What are the 3 main asssumptions?

Answer 6

= no mutatons to create new alelles
= large population
= no migraton o introduce or remove alleles from the opulation

Question 7

what is the equation?

Answer 7

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p= freuqnecy of dominant allele
q= frequecy of reccesibe allele
p^2= homozygous dominant geptype
q^2: frequency of homozyous recessibe genotype
2pq: eteroxyhpus hepyu[

Question 8

What are possible errors?

Answer 8

= if the alleles do not add up to ome, they arent alleles of the same gene
= if they add upt o less than one, another ossible allele
=frquencyes ust be in decimaals

Question 9

when should we use this princile?

Answer 9

= one gene
= 2 alleles
= one dominant and one reccessive

Question 10

When not to use equation/?

Answer 10

= codominance
= as tere are 2 allels x aleles by 2
=
