IB Biology HL D4.1.14 Hl Hardy Weinberg Conditions Questions

Check population size, mating, mutation, migration, drift and selection assumptions, then identify why expected frequencies can change.

Exam points

Identify the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assumptions: a large population, random mating, and no selection, mutation, migration or genetic drift.
Recognize equilibrium through constant allele and genotype frequencies, and identify assumptions whose failure allows those frequencies to change.

[Maximum number: 1]

State two assumptions made when using the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate allele frequencies.
