How students should use this module
Read the population genetics background
Review gene pools, genotype frequencies, allele frequencies, p and q, and the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
Complete gel electrophoresis
Run the PCR products from the previous week, record gel conditions, visualize DNA fragments, and sketch the banding pattern.
Use Tool 1: HW Population
Generate a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, record genotype counts, calculate p and q, expected values, and chi-square results.
Use Tool 2: Non-HW Population
Generate a population not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and compare observed and expected genotype counts.
Use Tool 3: Random Population
Generate a random population, calculate allele frequencies, expected genotype counts, chi-square values, and interpret the result.
Solve the genetics problem
Use the recessive phenotype count to estimate q², q, p, and expected genotype frequencies and numbers.
