Hardy Weinberg principle

frequency of alleles in a population remains constant over time, as long as five conditions are met

2
New cards

Five conditions of the principle

-no mutations

-no immigration/emigration no new alleles introduced

-no selection, no alleles favoured or eliminated

-mating is random, so alleles mixed randomly

-population is large, so there are no genetic bottle

New cards

Hardy Weinberg Equation (allele)

p+q=1

4
New cards

Hardy Weinberg Equation (individual)

p²+2pq+q²=1

5
New cards

Most useful part of equation to use

homozygous recessive (only affects one data set)
