Thursday December 5. 2013
In this lesson you will...
In this lesson you will...
- outline the conditions that are required in order to maintain genetic equilibrium in a population
- identify and compare the effects of mutations, gene flow,non-random mating, and genetic drift on gene pool diversity
- distinguish between the founder effect and the bottleneck effect to the microevolution of a population

19.1 The Hardy-Weinberg Principle
Tuesday/Wednesday December 3-4 2013
In this Lesson you will....
In this Lesson you will....
- define a gene pool as the sum of all the alleles for all the genes in a population
- describe the gene pool of a population at genetic equilibrium, as well as the molecular basis for a gene pool change
- summarize the five conditions upon which the Hardy-Weinberg principle is based
- describe how the Hardy-Weinberg equation is used to determine whether a population is undergoing microevolution
- calculate allele and genotype frequencies in a population, as well as the number of individuals with specific genotypes and interpret the data
