Hardy weinberg equilibrium
Model named after the two scientists, describes and
predicts genotype and allele frequencies in a non-
evolving population.
THE allele and genotype frequencies in a population
will remain constant from generation to generation
in the absence of other evolutionary influence.
Dominant alleles do not in fact replace recessive
ones.
A population that is not changing genetically .
If there is no change in frequencies, there is no
evolution.
In fact, allele frequencies often change in natural
populations, with some alleles increasing in
frequency and others decreasing.
ALLELE FREQUENCY
 Gene frequency- alleles are variant forms of a gene
that are located at the same position or genetic
locus on a chromosome.
GENOTYPE FREQUENCY
 Genotype frequency- in a population is the
number of individuals with a given genotype
divided by the total number of individual in the
population.
o Large population
o There is no mutations of the alleles
o There is no migration (no immigration or emig
ration)
o Random mating
o No natural selection
Populations In Hardy Weinberg
Equilibrium Meet
Five Criteria

Methods
 Gene frequencies will be unpredictable in small
populations.
 All the genotypes in a population reproduce
equally and successfully.
 A population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium do
not show evolution.

Problems Based On Hardy Weinberg
Equilibrium
Non-Random mating
 Non Random mating the probability that
two individuals in a population will mate is
not the same
for all possible pairs of individuals.
OR
In a population male does not mating with
any female of population is called as non-
random mating.
most animal and select mates carefully they do not
mate randomly
Assortative - individual mate with other who are
like
themselves phenotypically for selected traits
(similar)
• in breeding (extreme) – close relatives
1st and 2nd ,cousins
sibling
Types of non mating
random
Disassortative - individual only mate with others
who are phenotypically differ from themselvesFor sel
ective traits (opposites)
SIGNIFICANCE OF NON-RANDOM MATING
 Plant and animal breeders usually employ controlled
positive assortative mating to increase the
frequency of desirable traits and to reduce genetic
variation in a population.
 This method has been used to develop purebred
varieties of laboratory mice, dogs, horses and other
farm animals.
