Chapter 22: ActivitiesActivity 22.1 The Hardy-Weinberg Principle |
 |
How can you tell if a population that you are studying is evolving? In short, you have to know what happens to a population that is not evolving. A non-evolving population is said to be in equilibrium, also known as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In this activity, you’ll review a basic population genetics model and then use the Hardy-Weinberg principle to analyze the features that distinguish evolving populations from populations in equilibrium.
