Genes, Population and Alleles • Is there a relationship?
Gene Pool and Allelic Frequencies • Gene Pool = • Allelic Frequency = • How can we use this information?
Hardy Weinberg • Calculate Allelic frequencies in a given population • If we were to calculate the allelic frequencies what would we need to assume?
Hardy Weinberg- Assumptions • Large population • No migration • No evolution hence no mutation • No selection pressures • No species selection • Allopatric Speciation does not occur
Possibility of Alleles = • Total = 1 • So dominant and recessive alleles =1
Hardy Weinberg • Recessive phenotypes need both RECESSIVE alleles • Homozygous dominant phenotypes need both DOMINANT alleles • Heterozygotes need one of each allele
