

The idea that
evolution could be
viewed as changes
in allele frequency in
a population.
A population in
Hardy Weinburg
equilibrium is not
evolving.
The Hardy Weinburg Model


Represents a model
population to
compare other
populations to.
Determines whether
or not a given
population is
evolving.
Five Criteria must be met to maintain
Hardy Weinburg equilibrium

The population is
very large.

No migration of
immigration

No preferential
mating.


No mutations can
occur
All genotypes have
an equal chance to
survive. No Natural
selection
The purpose of this Laboratory is
to:

Show how selection
affects allele
frequencies.

Simiulate the
evolutionary process
by using your class
as a sample
population
