Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Flashcards for AP Biology review on Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

An equation used to estimate allele frequencies in a population.

Allele Frequencies

The frequency of dominant (P) and recessive (Q) alleles in a population.

Genotype Frequencies

The frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive genotypes in a population.

q squared (q^2)

Represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype in a population.

Ehlers-Van Creveld Syndrome

A recessive genetic disorder characterized by short stature and extra fingers or toes.

p + q = 1

Allele frequency equation where p is the frequency of the dominant allele and q is the frequency of the recessive allele.
