Title: Evolution: Discuss the Hardy-Weinberg principle and ...?
Post by: mike279766 on Feb 28, 2012
Discuss the Hardy-Weinberg principle and indicate how changes in the basic assumptions of this theory would affect the frequency of alles in a population.

Thanks.


Title: Evolution: Discuss the Hardy-Weinberg principle and ...?

Hardy weinber said that
1. no mutation
2. no gene flow
3. large population
4. no natural selection
5. no adaptation

which allows for a frequency of alleles to be same in a population

1. when you have mutation new genes are made and so the allel frequency change
2. when you introduce gene or delete gene the alleles is lost and that effect the frequency
3. if you have small population over time, the gene is going to be lost and you would end up with excessive amount of (AA or aa)
4. if there is natural selection, then it kind of force animal to evolt and the frequency change because animals are deing off,
5. if there is any adaptations, the gene change and frequency change with it
