Biology 1201A Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Genotype Frequency, Genetic Drift, Zygosity
Document Summary
All equally likely to survive and reproduce (no selection) Population is infinite in size (no genetic drift) Check to see if population is in hwe. Observed genotype frequencies must match expected p + q = 1 p^2 } genotype. Selection acts on the phenotype, not the genotype. Allele frequencies - dominant allele eliminated from population. Allele frequencies - recessive allele not eliminated from population. Genotype frequencies with recessive phenotype not eliminated - recessive allele maintained in the heterozygote. Very difficult to get rid of the recessive allele. How quickly an allele becomes fixed in a population. Affects amount of variation in a population.
