1 Hardy-Weinberg Practice 4 (1/27)
The ability to taste PTC is due to a single dominant allele "T". You sampled 215 individuals, and determined that 150 could detect the bitter taste of PTC and 65 could not. Calculate one set of potential frequencies.

2 Is it in equilibrium? AKA: Do the frequencies change (or not) over generations? AKA: Is this population evolving?

3 Is it in equilibrium? AKA: Do the frequencies change (or not) over generations? AKA: Is this population evolving? How can you tell? What is our textbook definition of evolution? So, what do you need to know?

4 Next generation You sampled 450 individuals, and determined that 400 could detect the bitter taste of PTC and 50 could not. Is it in equilibrium?

5 How else can we tell? If the frequencies are p2, 2pq, and q2

6 A locus that affects susceptibility to a degenerative brain disease has two alleles, A and a. In a population, 16 people have AA, 92 have Aa, and 12 have aa. Is this population evolving?
