Unit 13 Evolutionary Biology Ex1.

The Hardy-Weinberg Law Assumptions: Large population size Random mating No mutation No natural selection No migration Ex2. Calculating gene frequencies q= probability of the recessive allele q2 = homozygous recessive 25 individuals out of a population of 100have blue eyes, then q2= 25/100 or .25 Frequency of q is q2= .25= 0.5 p+ q= 1, p= 1-q Ex3. Gene flow: Migration between populations Ex4. Effects of natural selection on gene frequencies Coat color in rats. Black cards are dominant allele (B), red cards are recessive alleles (b) Ex5. Genetic drift: Effects of population size on gene frequencies
