Class 12th Biology 2018 Set1 Delhi Board Paper Solution
Question 7
With the help of an algebraic equation, how did Hardy-Weinberg explain that in a given population the frequency of occurrence of alleles of a gene is supposed to remain the same through generations?
Answer
Hardy-Weinberg Equation: The allele frequencies in a population are stable and is constant generation to generation.Sum total of all the allelle frequencies is 1.
ie. p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 (where p and q are frequency of Allele A and a)
In population genetic studies, the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to measure whether the observed genotype frequencies in a population differ from the frequencies predicted by the equation.
