Document Summary
Chapter 6- mendelian genetics in populations: selection and mutation: what use is the hardy-weinberg equilibrium principle, there is no selection. All survive at equal rates and contributed equal numbers of gametes to the gene pool. When violated- individuals with some genotypes survive and reproduce at higher rates than others, frequencies of alleles may change from one generation to the next: there is no mutation. No copies of existing alleles were converted by mutation into copies of other existing alleles and no new alleles were created. When violated- some alleles have higher mutation rates than others, allele frequencies may change from one generation to the next: there is no migration. No individuals move into or out of the population. When violated- individuals carrying some alleles move into or out of the population at higher rates than individuals carrying other alleles, allele frequencies may change from one generation to the next: there are no chance events.
