Hardy-Weinberg Equation for Population Genetics questions
Hardy-Weinberg equation
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a mathematical equation that can be used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium. In 1908, G. H. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg independently described a basic principle of population genetics, which is now named the Hardy-Weinberg equation. The equation is an expression of the principle known as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which states that the amount of genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
To explore the Hardy-Weinberg equation, we can examine a simple genetic locus at which there are two alleles, A and a. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is expressed as:
p2 2pq q2 = 1
where p is the frequency of the “A“ allele and q is the frequency of the “a“ allele in the population. In the equation, p2 represents the frequency of the homozygous genotype AA, q2 represents the frequency of the homozygous genotype aa, and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype Aa. In addition, the sum of the allele frequencies for all the alleles at the locus must be 1, so p q = 1. If the p and q allele frequencies are known, then the frequencies of the three genotypes may be calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg equation. In population genetics 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.
Problem:
On a remote island, Dr. Hasan discovered a new species of plant that can produce blue or white flowers. This species performs self-pollination or cross-pollination with the help of insects. Genetic experiments showed that the white flower phenotype is recessive to blue. Based on statistical data 91% of these plant species produce blue flowers. If a person crosses 2 plants with blue flowers at random, what is the probability that F1 offspring will produce white flowers?
