AP Biology

AP Biology Kit, Lab 8: Population Genetics and Evolution

Determine the genotype, phenotype and frequency of observable human traits. Students will then identify dominant and recessive genes for each trait. Taste tests will determine which individuals detect specific tastes. Students will then apply the Hardy-Weinberg Principle to calculate allele frequencies in the class and how it compares to the general population. Background information includes detailed coverage of natural selection, the Hardy-Weinberg equation and other related topics. Neo/Sci.
