BILD 3 Study Guide - Final Guide: Secondary Sex Characteristic, Ploidy, Mutation
Document Summary
Compare these with observed genotype frequencies: predicted genotype frequencies is calculated first by finding out the expected genotype frequencies by using p^2+2pq+q^2 a. i. p^2 measures the dominant homozygous genotype a. i. 1. p = allele frequency of one allele a. ii. 2pq measures the heterozygous genotype a. iii. q^2 measures the recessive homozygous genotype a. iii. 1. q = allele frequency of the other allele b. If the predicted genotype frequencies is equal to the observed genotype frequencies then the population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium: list the conditions that must be met for a locus in a population to be at hardy- Weinberg equilibrium (assumptions of hardy-weinberg equilibrium theory): conditions that must be met for a locus in a population to be at hardy-weinberg. It can alter allele frequencies in populations b. ii. It can reduce genetic differences among populations b. iii. It can counteract the loss of genetic variation caused by drift b. iv.
