Hardy-Weinberg Notes
Explaining the Hardy-Weinberg Equation:
First, for this equation to be correct we must make some assumptions about the environment that
our sample is
...
No selection
2
...
A large population is present
There are two equations that you must know to apply the Hardy-Weinberg equation
...
This is due to the fact
that if you think about punnett squares and the likelihood of each allele being present, you will
always end up with 100%, or one in this situation
...
“q squared” on the other hand would be the
probability of having a homozygous recessive being born in the population
...
Examples of the Hardy-Weinberg Equation:
1
...
What is the frequency of
the black-wool allele if the black-wool allele is dominant and the white-wool allele is
Recessive?
The frequency of black wool is 6
...
062
To find this, just first identify q2, which is equal to
...
938 or 93
...
Which
would end up being
...
2%
...
If 36% of the population has blue (recessive) eyes, what percent of the population is
homozygous dominant for brown eyes?
16% of the population would be homozygous dominant
...
As always, you must first identify the value of q2 in
your problem, which in this situation is
...
6, making
q =
...
4 then if you square p or
...
16 and p2 is equal to the
percentage of homozygous dominant
...
