Hardy-Weinberg law and Allele frequency calculations

The Hardy-Weinberg law rests on these assumptions: •The population under study is large, and matings are random with respect to the locus in question. •Allele frequencies remain constant over time because of the following: •There is no appreciable rate of new mutation. •Individuals with all genotypes are equally capable of mating and passing on their genes; that is, there is no selection against any particular genotype. •There has been no significant immigration of individuals from a population with allele frequencies very different from the endogenous population. A population that reasonably appears to meet these assumptions is considered to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Problems: Which of the following violate the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Little or no migration B) No selection C) Small population size D) random mating E) No mutation In a human population, the genotype frequencies at one locus are 0.5 AA, 0.4 Aa, and 0.1 aa. The frequency of the A allele in this population is: A) B) C) D) E) #HardyWeinbergLaw #population #alleleFrequencies #mutation #genotypes #HardyWeinbergEquilibrium #populationGenetics #hardyWeinbergAssumptions #hardyWeinberg #Genetics #genotypeFrequencies #hardyWeinbergEquations #hardyWeinbergEquilibriumExplained #genotype #educational #biology #cartoon #animation #tutorial #introduction #basics #overview #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #apBiology #hardyweinbergProblems #AlleleFrequency #hardyWeinbergEquilibrium #genes
