Document Summary

Ratio of tasters to non tasters respectively 3:1 (ranges based on ethnicity, from less than 60% in some racial groups to 100% in others: hardy weinberg equation, allows us to calculate allelic or genotypic frequencies for a population. Hardy weinberg equilibrium if these frequencies are constant from one generation to the next: when observe change in genetic frequencies, and population isn"t in equilibrium, Most populations violate at least one of these criterion and are evolving. (hardy weinberg. Principle useful tool for establishing null hypotheses when want to test whether evolution is occurring in population)
