Gene Pools

hardy weinberg alternative equation?

p+q=1

isolated population, why is recessive condition higher than stats? (3) (HUMANS)

due to the founder effect, there is a genetic bottleneck, as there is a small population, more likely for offspring to receive recessive alleles from both parents

ANIMALS - why is allele frequency for an animal? (4)

numbers very small, so genetic bottleneck, variation in gene pool reduced, increased likelihood of inbreeding effects, such as accumulation of disadvantageous mutations

CITES? (3)

prevents exploitation/hunting/poaching, by countries that sign it, by protecting endangered species
