In which cases does the Hardy Weinberg equation work?
To determine how allele frequency changes
If you know the phenotypes of all organisms in a population you can calculate the allelic frequency of the population?
Yes, use the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium equation.
Evolution and Genetics I really need the help please The correct equation for the Hardy-Weinberg principle is p2 pq q2 1 p2 2pq q2 1 p 2pq q 1 p pq q 1?
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
Which word equation summarizes the hydrolysis of a carbohydrate?
C6H12O6 ia the equation for carbohydrates
Linearity is how much important in method validation?
its important for recover the calculation equation and for improve linearity equation (pears low )
What parts of the Hardy Weinberg equation represent gene frequency?
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p & q represent the frequencies for each allele.
What is the hardy weinberg principle?
allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change
What is hardy-weinberg equation?
The Hardy Weinberg equation is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 Where p and q are the initial frequencies for the two alleles in question. This equation suggests that the three possible genotypes (homozygous p, heterozygous pq, and homozygous q) will reach a frequency equilibrium (i.e. stable frequency) in those proportions described above, if the following conditions are met: # Large population # No mutation # No selection# No emigration/immigration # Random mating In other words, evolution-- allelic frequency change within a population-- will not occur if the above 5 conditions are met.
The hardy-weinberg principle is written as an equation p2 plus 2pq plus q2 1 What does the q represent?
p and q represent the frequencies of two types of alleles.
What conditions must exist in the population in order to use the hardy weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population?
All organisms must reproduce.
In order to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population what conditions must exist in the population?
All organisms must reproduce.
How would selection against heterozygous individuals over many generations affect the frequencies of homozygous individuals?
If heterozygous individuals are not favored, then the frequency of heterozygous individuals will decrease as the frequency of homozygous individuals increase. This can be shown using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for allele frequencies in a population: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 where q2 & p2 are the frequencies of the two different homozygous individuals (eg. aa and AA) and 2pq is heterzygous (eg. Aa). As the equation shows, if 2pq decreases, the other two variables must increase to compensate.
Why is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
The distribution of alleles does not change from one generation to the next
Do population geneticists use the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to determine whether evolution is occurring at a given locus?
Yes. This answer is TRUE. (I am an Anthropology Grad student).
What is q2 in Hardy Weinberg equation?
The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype.
In which cases does the Hardy Weinberg equation work?
To determine how allele frequency changes
What does the Hardy Weinberg equation p2 represent?
The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype.
