The Hardy-Weinberg Equation How can we make predictions about the characteristics of a population? Why? Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but i... t is not practical to perform a Punnett square analysis on all possible combinations of all members of a population to predict what the population might look like in the future. For that we must turn to statistics. The HardyWeinberg equation is a tool biologists use to make predictions about a population and to show whether or not evolution is occurring in that population. Model 1 – Controlled (Selective) Mating Bb Bb Bb bb bb bb Bb Bb Bb bb bb bb Males Females Bb Bb Bb bb bb bb Males Females Bb Bb Bb bb bb bb 1. How many mating pairs are illustrated in Model 1? 2. Describe the parents in each mating pair in Model 1. Use terms such as homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, and recessive. 3. Use two Punnett squares to determine the possible genotypes for offspring from the pairs.
