Hardy Weinberg Analysis

Due Thursday, October 8thHardy Weinberg AnalysisCase 1 AnalysisIn your lab book, compare your small population data with your large population.Press F9 a few times to simulate a few different trials. Record all of your observationsDescribe what you are seeing (qualitative) in your computer model. What forces could be acting upon this? Is it truly in H-W equilibrium? Why or why not?Case 2 Analysis- Natural SelectionIn your lab book, compare your data for Natural Selection after 5 generations with your computer model with 1000 individuals after 5 generations. Press F9 a few times to simulate a few different trials. Record all of your observationsDescribe your comparison. Case 3 Analysis-Independent InvestigationChoose another condition to model. Examples include:Gene FlowMutations (the dominant becomes recessive)Heterozygote AdvantageNon-random matingPress F9 a few times to simulate a few different trials. Record all of your observations

Case 3: Independent InvestigationYou will complete a full investigation and create a mini-poster.Determine your question (non-random mating, gene flow, mutation).Record your review of literature (text book).Formulate your hypothesis.Record your procedure. This includes:Your scenario for the changeYour formula that models that change.Analyze your dataWrite a brief conclusion.Example scenarioIf I were to use natural selection:There is a population of bakerbugs.In Bakerbugs, following the proper rules of simon says is dominant (A) and following the new weird rules of Nibbly Bibble is recessive (a).All of a sudden, the environment changes. Those who are homozygous recessive and those who are heterozygous survive, but those who are homozygous dominant only survive 25% of the time.You need to express this in a formula in order to model it through the generations.And formulaOriginal formula:A alleles = AA*2+ABB alleles = BB*2+ABNew FormulaA alleles = (AA*2*.25)+AB (.25 represents the 25% that survived)B Alleles stays the same

Tips- if your formula gives you alleles in a decimal, reformat the cells to round them to a whole number; you cant have part of an allele in a population.
