  1. 23.2:Hardy-Weinberg Equation can be used to Test Whether a Population is Evolving Ben Lee

  2. Hardy-Weinberg Equation Expected Freq. Of Genotype Expected Freq. Of Genotype Expected Freq. Of Genotype 1 + + = P2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 CRCR + CRCW + q2 = 1

  3. Where it Happens • Bacterial communities • When looking for evolution • In populations w/ large gene pools

  4. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium • No mutations • Random mating • No natural selection • Extremely Large population size • No gene flow

  5. Example
