Document Summary
7. 1 individual-level versus population-level thinking: describe how population-level thinking is an extrapolation of individual-level thinking and how it can lead to unexpected outcomes. Individual level thinking associated with genetics looks at how an individual offspring is related to the genotype of its parents. Population genetics examines how the genotype frequencies in an offspring population are related to the genotype frequencies in a parental population. 7. 2 the hardy-weinberg model: a null model for population genetics: describe how the hardy-weinberg model serves as a null-model in population genetics. Hardy weinberg model sereves as a null model because it describes what happens to genotype frequencies when natural slecection and other evolutionary drivers are non-operational. List the assumptions that go along with the hardy-weinberg model. Hardy-weinberg assumes no mutation, no natural selection, random mating, no migration (gene flow), and a large population size: given a genotype or allele frequency, calculate the frequencies of the other genotypes and alleles.
