Hardy Weinberg REVIEW Evolution is simply a change in frequencies of alleles in the gene pool of a population over time.

Section 15.2 Summary– pages Genes determine most of an individual’s features, such as tooth shape or flower color. If an organism has a feature that is poorly adapted to its environment, the organism may be unable to survive and reproduce. GENETICS AND EVOLUTION

Section 15.2 Summary– pages Picture all of the alleles of a population as being together in a large pool called a gene pool. The percentage of any specific allele in the gene pool is called the allelic frequency. What is the gene pool for this frog population??? What is the allelic frequency of green frogs? Red frogs? Purple frogs?

Genetic Drift Genetic Drift Genetic Drift – the random fluctuation in allele frequencies over time, due to chance occurrences alone It is more significant in smaller populations It increases the chance of any given allele becoming more or less prevalent when the number of individuals is small

Gene Flow Genes move with individuals when they move (emigrate or immigrate) into and out of a population…and it changes the gene pool

Section 15.2 Summary– pages Evolution occurs as a population’s genes and their frequencies change over time. This can take millions of years for a species to change GENETICS AND EVOLUTION

Section 15.2 Summary– pages A population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations is in genetic equilibrium. GENETICS AND EVOLUTION A population that is in genetic equilibrium is NOT evolving or changing.

According to Hardy-Weinberg, Evolution is …simply a change in frequencies of alleles in the gene pool of a population. Alleles: Gene Pool: Population: One of two or more forms of a gene that code for different versions of the same trait. All possible genes and genetic combinations in a population. A group of organisms from the same species and the geographic location.

Hardy-Weinberg came up with five basic reasons why a population would stay at genetic equilibrium: 3. no mutations occur in any individuals DNA within this population. Under these conditions it is obvious that evolution would NOT occur. There are no mechanisms of evolution acting on the population, so the process cannot happen--the gene pool frequencies will remain unchanged. 5. natural selection is not occurring 1. the population is large, and genetic drift is not an issue (People won’t separate into cliques, and disease, predation, or any other catastrophe will not occur). 4. all mating is totally random (No artificial selection or sexual selection) 2. there is no gene flow, or migration in or out of the population

The definition of evolution was developed in the early 20th century by Godfrey Hardy, an English mathematician, and Wilhelm Weinberg, a German physician. Hardy Weinberg “Evolution is simply a change in frequencies of alleles in the gene pool of a population.”

However, since it is highly unlikely that any one of these five conditions, let alone all of them, will happen in the real world, evolution is inevitable. Mutations will occur at random….creating new alleles… Organisms will move in and out of a population, bringing with them or taking away alleles from the gene pool. Reproduction will not be random, organisms will choose mates based on certain traits….. Catastrophes will occur that can change allelic frequencies. There will be traits that are more beneficial to have than others….

Hardy and Weinberg developed an equation we can use to calculate how many individuals in a population are: BB (Homozygous Dom.) Bb (Heterozygous) bb (Homozygous Rec.) This is used to track allelic frequencies from generation to generation in a population to monitor evolution OR changes in the gene pool.

This is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation. p² + 2pq + q² = 1 p is defined as the frequency of the dominant allele p = B q is defined as the frequency of the recessive allele q = b

Because there are only two alleles in this case, “B” and “b” the frequency of one plus the other must equal 100%, so… p + q = 1 (or 100%)

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 In this equation: p² = homozygous dominant (BB) organisms in a population. 2pq = heterozygous (Bb) organisms q² = homozygous recessive (bb) ones p = Bq = b

Albinism is a rare genetically inherited trait that is only expressed homozygous recessive individuals (aa). The most characteristic symptom is a marked deficiency in the skin and hair pigment melanin. This condition can occur among any human group as well as among other animal species. The average human frequency of albinism in North America is only about 1 in 20,000.

The Hardy-Weinberg equation (p² + 2pq + q² = 1), and the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (aa) in a population is q². Therefore, in North America the following must be true for albinism: q² = 1/20,000 = By taking the square root of both sides of this equation, we get: q =.007 (rounded) Knowing one of the two variables (q) in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, it is easy to solve for the other (p). p = 1 – q p = p =.993

The frequency of the dominant, normal allele (A) is, therefore, or about 99 in 100. The next step is to plug the frequencies of p and q into the Hardy-Weinberg equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1 (.993)² + 2 (.993)(.007) + (.007)² = = 1 This gives us the frequencies for each of the three genotypes for this trait in the population: p² = AA =.986 = 98.6% 2pq = Aa =.014 = 1.4% q² = aa = =.005%
