The Hardy-Weinberg Model is?

• Available at local hobby stores and retailers throughout the Greater Cleveland area.

• A mathematical tool that biologists can use to predict allele frequencies and determine whether or not evolution is occurring within a population.

• Always occurring within populations of organisms in nature.

• Only useful in the lab and cannot be practically applied to real-world populations of organisms.  

In a gene pool for a population of 30 individuals, there are 40 recessive alleles and 20 dominant alleles. What is the value for q? (round to hundredths place)

What is the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg principle in genetics?
