Summary Introduction

To review:

When the genotype frequencies stop changing, if the conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle are met.

Introduction:

The Hardy-Weinberg principle describes the establishment of genotype frequencies in sexually-reproducing organisms. Genetic equilibrium will be achieved if the given conditions are followed:

1) No mutations occur in a population.

2) Population is closed to migration from other population.

3) Individuals in a population mate randomly with their genotypes.

4) All genotypes in a population survive and are able to reproduce.

Students have asked these similar questions
Using the observed counts for each genotype, how do you find the expected values with those numbers and the frequencies?
IN a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, as the frequencies of homozygous genotypes increase, the frequency of the heterozygous genotype _____
What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype if the homozygous genotype frequencies are 0.1385 (BB) and 0.5897 (bb)?
