  • When large population is drastically reduced by a disaster and then recovers changing allele frequencies
    bottleneck effect
  • when there is a double set of chromosomes to preserve alleles
    diploidy
  • what is hardy weinberg equation for genotypes?
    p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
  • 3 conditions for Hardy weinberg equilibrium to be true
    no natural selection, no mutations, no gene flow, random mating, large population
  • Within a population of butterflies, color brown (B) is dominant to color white (b). 40% of all butterflies are white. Calculate the frequency of the recessive allele
    0.63
  • Within a population of butterflies, color brown (B) is dominant to color white (b). 40% of all butterflies are white. Calculate the frequency of homozygous recessive
    0.4
  • Competition between same sex for mates
    intrasexual selection
  • If carrying allele for PKU is recessive, and 1/10,000 are born with PKU in US, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
    0.01
  • Lose or gain alleles by movement of individuals
    gene flow
  • Mention two ways that predators can preserve their alleles
    speed, behaviors, camouflage, mimicry, defenses
  • when frequencies of alleles change randomly due to unpredictable chances
    genetic drift
  • letter used in Hardy Weinberg to express the recessive allele
    q
  • When few individuals isolated start a new population
    founder effect
