Name: Understanding the Hardy-Weinberg Equation
ID: col10472
Language: English (en)
Summary: This collection develops the Hardy-Weinberg equation, the standard null model for detecting evolution in populations, from first principles. Some common student misconceptions are approached as questions to be quantitatively tested using simple computer simulations and problems taken from recently published research papers examining evolution in human populations.
