Lab 15 Population Genetics Lab Report
Experiment 1: Genetic Variation
After completing Experiment 1 answer the following questions
1. What is the gene pool of beaker #1?
2. What is the gene pool of beaker #2?
3. What is the gene frequency of beaker #1?
4. What is the gene frequency of beaker #2?
5. What can you say about the genetic variation between these populations?
Experiment 2: Genetic Drift
After completing experiment 2, answer the following:
1. What observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the surviving individuals?
2. Do the results vary between the populations represented by beakers #1, #2 and #3? Why or why not?
3. What observations can you make about the genetic variation between the parent and surviving populations?
Experiment 3: Stochastic Events
After completing Experiment 3 answer the following:
1. What observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the founding individuals?
