Procedure Need to take initial readings as well to compare and totals are important.
Using the Net Logo Hardy Weinberg model you will run a simulation of a population of randomly heterozygous individuals with an initial gene frequency of 0.5 for the dominant allele (A) and the recessive allele (a).
- Before moving on spend 5 minutes familiarizing yourself with how the model works by...
- Set up your population size to 500.
- On the bottom left side of your simulation set your max- generation to 100.
- Select the species you would like to observe... turtles, humans, etc...
- Click on the “set up” button.
- Collect initial data in the data table before moving on.
- Click on “go.”
- Monitor the population closely by observing the species and graphs (genotype, phenotype, and allele)
- Analyze the data after 100 generations and complete the table below.
Thank goodness for computer simulations!
