Hardy-Weinberg PreLab Resource: AP Bio Big Idea 1 – Evolution, Investigation 2: Mathematical Modeling: Hardy-Weinberg Pre-lab: Complete the following parts on a separate sheet of paper. Part 1: Comparative Question – write the comparative question that will be tested for this lab. Part 2: Objectives • • • • • • • • To use a data set that reflects a change in the genetic makeup of a population over time and to apply mathematical methods and conceptual understandings to investigate the cause(s) and effect(s) of this change To apply mathematical methods to data from a real or simulated population to predict what will happen to the population in the future To evaluate data-based evidence that describes evolutionary changes in the genetic makeup of a population over time To use data from mathematical models based on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to analyze genetic drift and the effect of selection in the evolution of specific populations To justify data from mathematical models based on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium To analyze genetic drift and the effects of selection in the evolution of specific populations To describe a model that represents evolution within a population To evaluate data sets that illustrate evolution as an ongoing process Part 3: Pre-lab Questions (write the questions and the answers) 1) What is the smallest unit of evolution? Explain your reasoning. 2) How can models predict the future? If these predictions are accurate what does that tell us about the model? 3) Why use a computer model to observe evolutionary change (as opposed to observing it in nature)? 4) What is genetic equilibrium? How does this equate to evolution? 5) Write the Hardy-Weinberg equation. What does each part of the equation represent? 6) Which pattern of inheritance is the Hardy-Weinberg equation used for? Explain. 7) What will be your independent and dependent variables for the model you are testing? 8) What is your hypothesis for your model’s outcome, when compared to the genetic equilibrium model?
