1
New cards
population
A localized group of individuals capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
2
New cards
gene pool
All the alleles, for every gene, present in individuals of a population.
3
New cards
allele frequencies
The frequency of an allele in a population, calculated by the total number of alleles at a locus.
4
New cards
Hardy-Weinberg Equation
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1; it describes the genetic makeup expected for a population that is not evolving.
5
New cards
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
A condition where allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in a population.
6
New cards
conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
No mutations, random mating, no natural selection, extremely large population size, no gene flow.
7
New cards
p
Represents the frequency of dominant alleles in a population.
8
New cards
q
Represents the frequency of recessive alleles in a population.
9
New cards
p2
The frequency of homozygous dominant genotype in a population.
10
New cards
q2
The frequency of homozygous recessive genotype in a population.
11
New cards
2pq
The frequency of heterozygous genotype in a population.
12
New cards
factors causing evolution
One or more factors must be at work for a population to evolve.
13
New cards
PKU
A recessive genetic disorder that can be analyzed under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium conditions.
