Topic: Hardy-Weinberg Equation
Biology students will use the Hardy Weinberg Classroom Model Net Logo program created by Kenneth Letendre. They will use the computer simulation to analyze how variables such as the proportion of alleles, population size, and selection against alleles can influence the genetics of a population. The Hardy Weinberg principle predicts the genotype and phenotype frequencies given that five assumptions (large population size, mating is random, no mutations, no migration, and no selection) hold true in a population.
