AP Biology Lab 8: Population Genetics and Evolution

The video tutorial covers the Hardy-Weinberg Lab, explaining how the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes gene frequency stability in populations. It introduces p and q values, representing allele frequencies, and explains the Hardy-Weinberg equation. The video outlines conditions for maintaining equilibrium, such as no mutation or selection, and describes lab experiments modeling genetic concepts like selection, heterozygotic advantage, and genetic drift.

What is the impact of sample size on the accuracy of Hardy-Weinberg predictions?

Discuss the implications of selection on allele frequencies in a population.

How does heterozygous advantage affect allele frequencies in a population?
