Hardy Winberg

Question 1

Main Idea

Answer 1

Independent development of population genetics. Frequency of alleles and genotypes in a population will remain constant unless… a selective pressure acts on it. (like natural selection)
Meiosis does not matter
dominance does not matter

Question 2

Allele Frequency Equation

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Genotype Frequency Equation

Answer 3

p^2+2pq+q^2=1
Homozygous dominant
Heterozygous
Homozygous recessive

Question 4

Equilibrium

Answer 4

If both equations work with p&q work then the population is at equilibrium.
