Hardy-Weinberg ONLINE LAB
Due:__FRIDAY_
You will be completing an ONLINE LAB for review and understanding of the HardyWeinberg Equilibrium concept.
Visit this website 
http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/lab8/intro.html
You can access it by either :
A) Entering exactly as seen above
B) You can Google “Pearson Lab Bench Activity” and click on the first link entitled
“PHSchool – The Biology Place” then choose Lab 8: Population Genetics
C) Accessing the link “Population Genetics Online Lab Activity” through
Dunigan’s website, under Honors Biology  Interactive Web Pages
Directions:
1. Go through the entire tutorial.
-You will gain further knowledge about the 5 conditions required for equilibrium.
2. You will complete practice problems within the website, with the ability to check
your answers.
3. You will complete a 5 question lab quiz at the end of the tutorial.
-The lab quiz questions from the website are THE SAME as the ones you see on
this worksheet!!! Complete the answers on this worksheet!!
Lab Quiz
1) If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A and 10% a, what is the
frequency of individuals in the population with the genotype Aa?
SHOW YOUR WORK!!
2) If a population experiences no migration, is very large, has no mutations, has random
mating, and there is no selection, what would you predict?
3) Of the answers provided on this website, which is NOT a condition that must be met
for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
4) In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the
homozygous recessive genotype is 0.09. What is the frequency of individuals that are
homozygous for the dominant allele? SHOW YOUR WORK
5) In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while
Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant
gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele (a), what is the
frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?
