Hardy weinberg

Cards (3)

    • The Gene pool is all the alleles of all the genes in a population
    • Allelic frequency refers to the amount of times an allele occurs in that population.
    • Hardy Weinberg principle is sometimes also called the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
    • It is a theoretical mathematical equation that allows you to predict the allelic frequencies for all the dominant and recessive alleles in a population
  • p2 + 2pq + q2
    p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals
    q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals
    2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals
