What do scientists use the Hardy-Weinberg model for?
To predict changes in allel frequency
Allele frequencies in a population tend to remain the same from generation to generation unless acted on by outside influences?
Genetic equilibrium is a theoretical concept used to study the dymamics of single alleles in the population gene pool. In practice, there is no situation in which allele frequencies do not drift to some degree. Large populations may slow drift down, but there will still be drift.
What is a distribution of a particular allele within a population?
Based on the Hardy-Weinberg Principle the rate at which a particular allele occurs in a population is its frequency.
What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
When a population is not evolving what is it called?
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Who developed the principle of genetic equilibrium?
Hardy-Weinberg Principle.
What is the uses of hardy weinburg?
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a bit like the "Punnett square for populations". A Punnett square can predict the probability of offspring's genotype based on parents' genotype, or the offsprings' genotype can be used to reveal the parents' genotype. The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used to calculate the frequency of particular alleles based on frequency diseases. This principle can determine useful but difficult-to-measure facts about a population.
What do scientists use the Hardy-Weinberg model for?
To predict changes in allel frequency
Which one of the statements presents a condition of the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
No statements, but a few of the Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Random mating. No gene flow. No natural selection.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is written what does the p represent?
p is the value of an allele frequency.

The work of hardy and weinberg led to what statement about evolution?
Evolution is changes in the gene pool's allele frequencies.Evolution is changes in the gene pool's allele frequencies
Which of the following is a condition that must exist before the Hardy-Weinberg principle is met?
no gene flow
What question did hardy and Weinberg want an answer?
Hardy and Weinberg wanted to answer the question of how genetic variation is maintained in a population over time. They developed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle, which describes the expected frequencies of alleles in a population that is not undergoing any evolutionary changes.
What are the five evolutionary forces that act on the hardy weinberg principle?
The evolutionary influences present in the Hardyâ??Weinberg principle are mate choice, mutation, selection, genetic drift, gene flow and meiotic drive.
What is Hardy Weinberg?
The Hardy Weinberg Principle states that a trait that is neither selected for or against will remain at the same frequency in the population. Therefore, traits in a population that are neither selected for or against are in equillibrium and remain in the population at a steady state.
What is hardy weinberg equillibruim?
The Hardy Weinberg Principle states that a trait that is neither selected for or against will remain at the same frequency in the population. Therefore, traits in a population that are neither selected for or against are in equillibrium and remain in the population at a steady state.
