Hardy-Weinberg Activity 1. Divide into partners. 2. Select one person to obtain the following materials: Two colors of Skittles (use gloves) Cup (filled halfway with skittles) 3. Count your skittles to make sure that there is an even number. This is your gene pool. 4. Assign one color to be dominant and one to be recessive. Count each color. 5. Find the frequencies of each color. # dominant total # 6. Make a chart on your own paper. Number Frequency BB Bb # recessive total # bb 7. Take random pairs to simulate children of the next generation. Tally these pairs on your chart. 8. Find p and q by counting the dominant and recessive genes a second time and dividing them by the total number of skittles. 9. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Explain. 10. Repeat the simulation over many generations using the chart below. Use your previous data for the “original” population. BB Bb bb p q Original Population Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3 Generation 4 Generation 5 This time, a homozygous recessive individual dies. Their genes are eliminated from the gene pool. 11. Is your population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Explain.
