Introduction to Population Genetics: Alleles, Genes, and Frequencies, Quizzes of Cell Biology

Definitions and calculations related to key concepts in population genetics, including alleles, genes, population, gene pool, population genetics, allele frequency, genotype frequency, phenotype frequency, hardy-weinberg principle, hardy-weinberg equilibrium, and genetic drift. Students will learn the meaning of these terms and how to calculate relevant frequencies.

What you will learn

  • What do p, q, 2pq, p+q represent in genetic drift?
  • How do you calculate the total number of gene copies in a population?
  • What is an allele?
  • What is the Hardy-Weinberg Principle and how is it proven?
  • What is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
  • What are the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
