Transcribed Image Text:4. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) if the allele frequencies are not
changing over time. Refer to the calculations you made from the table in question 1 of
Part A of this lesson 1 assignment.
a. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What evidence do you have to
support your decision?
Answer:
b. Review the five conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. From what you know
about this population, what is one reason it could not be in HWE?
Answer:
Transcribed Image Text:f(B) allele =-
# of B alleles
total # of alleles ( = 20)
Example:
2000
2005
Phenotype Frequencies
8/10
= 0.8
8/10
= 0.8
f(black)
2/10
= 0.2
2/10
= 0.2
f(white)
Genotype Frequencies
3/10
7/10
= 0.7
f(BB)
=0.3
