Calculation of Allele and Genotype Frequencies & Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Theory INTRODUCTION Population geneticists study frequencies of genotypes and alleles within populations rather than the ratios of phenotypes that Mendelian geneticists use. By comparing these frequencies with those predicted by null models that assume no evolutionary mechanisms are acting within populations‚ they draw conclusions regarding the evolutionary forces in operation. In a constant environment‚ genes will continue

(Russell 2003). Within this area‚ there are hereditary traits‚ which are controlled by genes. As studied by Mendel‚ genotype and phenotype are both characteristics of an organism. Genotype is the genetic make-up of an organism while phenotype is the observable characteristics of an organism. The expression of a trait‚ phenotype‚ can be affected by the Sullivan 2 genetic constitution‚ genotype‚ and other genes and environmental factors. Mendel found this out after doing an experiment with peas. He

THE VICTORIA SCHOOL SANTIAGO JACOME LAB REPORT PTC BIOLOGY SL AIM: The aim of this lab is to analyze the genotype differences of classmates that are able to taste PTC‚ Thiourea and Sodium benzoate and determine the phenotypes found. Testing the ability to taste PTC has been a mainstay activity in human genetics for generations of teacher and students. The ability to taste PTC is inherited. Traditionally this is presented as a case of simple Mendelian inheritance involving a dominant allele for tasting
