Hardy-Weinberg Theorem: Allele frequencies stay constant if there is no
selection and it's other assumptions are met
Heterozygosity will also stay the same

Two allele equation: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p= frequency of allele Aq = Frequency of allele a p + q = 1. So p2 = AA, q2 = aa, and pq = Aa

Hardy-Weinberg and Selection

Selection Can Change Genotype Frequency
![Page 20: Hardy-Weinberg: An introduction. Hardy-Weinberg Theorem: Allele frequencies stay constant if there is no selection and it's other assumptions are met.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649eb45503460f94bbc4e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When is Selection Not Enough?
Recessive Alleles
HIV resistanceCCR5 –vs CCR5-Δ32Δ32/Δ32 Homozygote confers resistance
Should be sweeping towards fixation…right? It’s a “good” allele
![Page 21: Hardy-Weinberg: An introduction. Hardy-Weinberg Theorem: Allele frequencies stay constant if there is no selection and it's other assumptions are met.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649eb45503460f94bbc4e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Setting The StageSo lets assume the highest frequency
20% in Ashkenazi Jews
Assume highest infection rate25% in Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana

But are these assumptions reasonable?
![Page 24: Hardy-Weinberg: An introduction. Hardy-Weinberg Theorem: Allele frequencies stay constant if there is no selection and it's other assumptions are met.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649eb45503460f94bbc4e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

But HIV infection rate less than 1%

Why doesn’t selection work?
Selection pressure is strong
There are a few copies of Δ32

American Eugenics MovementSocial Darwinism
Starting in the late 1800s
Big after WWI ImmigrationObvious inequalities
All of societies ills were geneticAnd could be eliminated
1911 list of ways to eliminate bad genes #8 was euthanasia….

But Could it even work?Assumed “Feeblemindedness” was recessive
Assumed 1-2% frequency
Outcome of selection?

R.A. FisherSaid “anti-eugenics propaganda”
Drop from 100/10,000 to 82.6/10,000 would reduce public expenditure and personal misery

And of course their genetics were all wrong
Environment
Multiple genes
Many institutionalized for “other” reasons
Genetics of morality?

He praised our immigration laws
Also noted forced sterilization laws
Start of Third ReichPraise by American eugenics movement
By 1934 > 5000 sterilized per month
Eventually moved to solution #8….

Only after WWII did America Move Away From Eugenics Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes wrote, “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind . . . Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” 1927

Mutation and Hardy Weinberg:
Assume p has a frequency of 1 What is the frequency of q ?
Now allow a mutation to occur from p to q
Instant evolution!

Creates new genes
Mutation selection balance

But why so common in Northern Europe?
Diversity of alleles higher elsewhere
Selective advantage occurs elsewhere
Other evolutionary forces….

Genetic Engineering and Malaria
Protect mosquitos from malariaWhy?
The genes exist
But is it enough to have a mosquito with the gene?

Have to increase frequency: Link to a gene that will increase in frequency

But how does this increase frequency???
