Summary 3.7.2 Populations
Species exist as one or more populations. A population as a group of organisms of the same species occupying a particular space at a particular time that can potentially interbreed. The concepts of gene pool and allele frequency. The Hardy–Weinberg principle provides a mathematical model, which predicts that allele frequencies will not change from generation to generation. The conditions under which the principle applies. The frequency of alleles, genotypes and phenotypes in a population can be calculated using the Hardy–Weinberg equation: p 2 + 2 p q + q 2 = 1 where p is the frequency of one (usually the dominant) allele and q is the frequency of the other (usually recessive) allele of the gene.
