    The document examines whether a population of 1000 kangaroos with observed genotype frequencies is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. It calculates the allele frequencies p=0.3 and q=0.7 from the genotype counts and confirms that the condition p+q=1 is satisfied, indicating the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

    Is a population in Hardy-Weinburg

    Equilibrium?
    Imagine 1000 kangaroos
    90 are AA at the tail locus (long tails)
    420 are Aa at the tail locus (medium tails)
    490 are aa at the tail locus (short tails)
    Fr(AA) = 90/1000 = 0.09
    Fr(Aa) = 420/1000 = 0.42
    Fr(aa) = 490/1000 = 0.49
    p = Fr(A) = (2 X 90) + 420 = 0.3
    2000
    q = Fr (a) = 0.7

    p+q=1

    Is a population in Hardy-Weinburg
    Imagine
    1000 kangaroos
    Equilibrium?
    90 are AA at the tail locus (long tails)
    420 are Aa at the tail locus (medium tails)
    490 are aa at the tail locus (short tails)
    Fr(AA) = 90/1000 = 0.09
    Fr(Aa) = 420/1000 = 0.42
    Fr(aa) = 490/1000 = 0.49
    p = (2 X 90) + 420 = 0.3
    2000
    q = 0.7

    If in HWE.
    Fr(AA) = p2 = 0.09
    Fr(Aa) = 2pq = 0.42
    Fr(aa) = q2 = 0.49

    Populations in nature almost never fit the


    conditions for Hardy-Weinberg
    equilibrium.
    However, it is useful for predicting
    genotype frequencies from allele
    frequencies.
    Also, because the model describes
    conditions that would result in no
    evolution, patterns of deviation from the
    model help identify mechanisms of
    evolution.

    If a population is not in equilibrium,


    something interesting is happening
    like selection, mutation, migration,
    etc.
    Known evolutionary mechanisms:
    Mutation
    Gene flow
    Genetic drift
    Natural selection
    Non random mating

    Does not always cause


    evolution, but always
    disrupts HWE
