Conditions of Hardy-Weinberg: Independent Reinforcement

Last updated almost 2 years ago

5 questions

Note from the author:

This references Andersen's excellent Five Fingers of Evolution video, and involves drag and drops of a hand and fist to link the five fingers of evolution to the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Space is provided for writing recaps of activities available in my Pear Practice library. The two activities referenced are here:

Question 1

1.

Write what you recall from the class game of Pear Practice (Intro to Hardy Weinberg). Then view the hint for essential ideas you should include.

Absent students: Go to Pear Practice, My Classes, Hardy Weinberg Intro, and complete the entire intro. It might be a little confusing because it is randomized when being done independently. While I have feedback coded in, it is not equivalent to my lecture and support as student worked; you are welcome to message me and let me know you would like to visit and do the lesson as originally designed.

Complete the next section for the answer, then bold or color-code or highlight any conditions you failed to list. Leave mistakes in place, show your corrections.

Question 2

2.

Paul Andersen describes this image as the five fingers of evolution. Label each finger with its description to help link it in your memory to what it will represent in the mechanisms of evolution.

Other Answer Choices:

the thumb is an adaptation that makes us more fit for tree-climbing and tool usage

this finger is not as BIG as the others

this mobile finger can point to your new home or tell someone to get out of town

this is the -M-iddle finger!

put a RING on it

Question 3

3.

Paul Andersen describes this image as the five fingers of evolution. Label from recall, and/or look up to the clues on the previous image to help you build the connections. 

Other Answer Choices:

migration

mutations

sexual selection

limited population size

natural selection

Question 4

4.

Hardy-Weinberg theorem is the absence of evolution. Let's hide the fingers to look at a fist, and identify what condition of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium each missing finger/knuckle represents.

Other Answer Choices:

no small populations

genetic drift

gene flow

small populations

no natural selection

non-random mating

no mutation

mutation

natural selection

no non-random mating

no migration

Question 5

5.

Go play the Pear Practice assignment for independent work- (Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Conditions Continued Practice, not the same as the intro we did together), and screenshot/upload evidence that it is completed.
