Name: Fatima Date: Monday, January 8, 2018Student Exploration: Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Vocabulary: allele, genotype, Hardy-Weinberg equation, Hardy-Weinberg principle,
heterozygous, homozygous, Punnett square
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
Suppose the feather color of a bird is controlled by two alleles, D and d. The D allele results in
dark feathers, while the d allele results in lighter feathers.
1. Suppose two Dd birds mate. What percentages of DD, Dd, and dd
offspring would you predict? Use the Punnett square at right to
help determine your answer.

Gizmo Warm-up
Many factors—immigration, natural selection, hunting, and
aC s
so forth—can influence the composition of a population. To
vi y re
determine if one of these factors is affecting a population, it
is useful to know what a population looks like when none of
these factors is present.
ed d
In 1908, Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg independently discovered the laws that govern
ar stu
such populations. These laws can be explored in the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Gizmo™.
1. The parrots you see on the SIMULATION pane represent a larger population of 500 parrots.
Select the TABLE tab. How many parrots of each genotype are in the initial population?

The parrots pair up, produce eggs and then fly away.
3. Click Hatch, and look on the TABLE tab. What are the parrot populations now?
DD 174 Dd 240 dd 86

genotypes Check that DD is 50% and dd is 30%.
Question: How will the proportion of genotypes and alleles change over time when
mating is random and no natural selection is occurring?
1. Predict: How do you expect the proportions of D and d alleles to change over time?
There will be more D alleles than d.
2. Gather data: Run a generation in the Gizmo. After clicking Hatch, fill in the allele and
genotype percentages for generation 1. Repeat this process for 5 generations.

3. Analyze: What patterns do you see in your data? The percentages of D alleles and d alleles
vi y re
remain fairly constant throughout the simulation.
4. Interpret: Select the ALLELE GRAPH tab. What does this graph show? The graph shows
that the percentage of D alleles are higher as the next generation starts. The percentage of
ed d
d alleles lower as the next generation starts.

5. Interpret: Select the GENOTYPE GRAPH tab. What does this graph show? The genotype
graph shows that the percentage of Dd genotypes made a big jump from generation 0 to 1
and went lower and then higher. The DD genotypes dropped a lot from generation 0 to 1 and
is
went higher. The dd genotypes also dropped a lot and then went higher and lower.
