Chapter 18 Syllabus

18.1 Concept Of Gene Pool
- Concept of gene pool, allele and genotype frequencies in a population
- Relationship between population genetics and evolution

18.2 Hardy-Weinberg Law
- Genetic equilibrium and allele frequency
- Requirements for genetic equilibrium
-- Large-sized population
-- Random mating
-- No mutation
-- No migration
- Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
-- p^2 + 2 pq + q^2 = 1 and p + q = 1
- Calculations of allele and genotype frequencies in a population
