Today was a fun class. A bit awkward, but fun. So, in an attempt to learn about recessive and dominant traits. We learned that homozygous dominant is when someone has AA or two dominant alleles. We also learned that homozygous recessive means that someone has aa or two recessive alleles. Then there are the Aa, or heterozygous.
We then were taught the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. Basically, we used our first equation in this class, I think, p^2 + 2pq + q^2 to figure out the frequency that any of the above combinations would appear in a population.
We ended with one quiz, and were assigned another to take at home.
