What conditions are necessary for populations to remain in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Biology

uysha [10]2 years ago

Answer:

There are five conditions that disrupt the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

Natural selection

Mutation

Genetic drift

Migration (gene flow)

Nonrandom mating

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was explored earlier in this lesson in relation to allele frequency and the number of genotypes and phenotypes. This equilibrium was developed by Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg completely independent of one another. The equilibrium states that if there are no external forces of evolution on a population, then the allele frequency of that population will never change. The individuals within a population would all look the same as each other.

Answer:

Large population

Random mating

No evolutionary mechanisms (mutations, genetic flow,, genetic drift, natural selection)

Explanation:

According to  Hardy-Weinberg model, allele frequence (or genotype frequencies) will remain constant through generations in the absence of disturbing factors, evolutionary mechanisms. Such constant population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (no evolving population). Factor that can disturb equilibrium of the population are nonrandom mating, mutations, gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift.

According to Hardy-Weinberg model:

p2+2pq+q2=1 (p+q=1)

p2 is the frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq is is the frequency of heterozygous genotype

q2 is is the frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

A geologist uses relative dating methods to guess that a rock is between 1 million and 5 million years old. What is one radioact
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Scientists usually use the potassium-argon method to date rocks that are older than about 1 million years. Uranium-238 is also used for radiometric dating. It has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. It decays to produce lead-206.

Give two examples of organisms that may have coevolved
kondaur [170]
Two Types of Coevolution

Coevolution is common among organisms participating in a mutual interaction. In mutualism, both the organisms benefit from each other. When coevolution occurs among mutually benefiting species, it is called mutualistic coevolution.

When coevolution is found among species that have negative effects on each other, it is called competitive coevolution. There are two kinds of interactions between species that can lead to competitive coevolution:

<span><span>Predation is when one organism kills and eats another organism. The prey is the species that gets eaten by the predator, which is of course the species that eats the prey.</span><span>Parasitism is when one organism benefits by damaging, but not killing, another organism. The parasitespecies benefits from this relationship, while the host species is negatively affected.</span></span>
