Of B alleleo q = freq. of b alleleo p + q = 1 How to determine p and q?o 1. Counting method: p = 120/200 = .60, q = 80/200 = .40Number ofIndividualsNumber of allelesB b40 BB 80 0These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

BB + 1/2(freq. Bb) = P + 1/2 H = .36 + 1/2 (.48) = .36 + .24 = .60 q = freq. bb + 1/2(freq. Bb) = Q + 1/2 H = .16 + 1/2 (.48) = .16 + .24 = .40- Hardy-Weinberg Equilibriumo In large, random mating populations, gene and genotypic frequencies remain constant from generation to generation and follow the relationship: (p+q)2 = p2 + 2pq + q2 Where p2 = P, 2pq = H, q2 = Q- Chicken example: o Frequency of B: p = 0.60o Frequency of b: q = 0.40- Therefore: o P = frequency BB = p2 = (0.60)2 = 0.36o H = frequency Bb = 2pq = 2(0.60)(0.40) = 0.48o Q = frequency bb = q2 = (0.40)2 = 0.16o Can not have >50% heterozygoteso When the frequency of one allele is very low that allele is mostly in Heterozygote, and very few in Homozygote, which is very important in Selection - Using Hardy-Weinbergo Pigs: WW, Ww = white belt ww = solid color (no belt)o Population of 1,000 random mating pigs with 910 belted and 90 solid coloro 1.
