Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. A bird’s feather color is controlled by two alleles, D (dark feathers)
and d (lighter feathers). Suppose two Dd birds mate. What
percentages of DD, Dd, and dd offspring would you predict? Use
the Punnett square at right to help determine your answer.

Many factors—immigration, natural selection, hunting, etc.—can
influence the composition of a population. To determine if one of
aC s
these factors is affecting a population, it is useful to know what a
vi y re
population looks like when none of these factors is present.
In 1908, Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg independently discovered the laws that govern
such populations. These laws can be explored in the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Gizmo™.

1. The parrots you see represent a population of 500 parrots. For these parrots, the D allele is
incompletely dominant over d, which means that Dd parrots are intermediate between DD
and dd parrots. In the Gizmo, select the TABLE tab. How many parrots of each genotype
are in the initial population?

Two birds are randomly matched together and reproduce.
3. Click Hatch, and look on the TABLE tab. What are the parrot populations now?

Alleles and On the DESCRIPTION tab, click Reset.
genotypes Check that DD is 50% and dd is 30%.
Question: How will the proportion of genotypes and alleles change over time when
mating is random, and no natural selection is occurring?
1. Predict: How do you expect the proportions of D and d alleles to change over time?
The d and D alleles will combine and take over the population as it will become the majority
2. Gather data: Run a generation in the Gizmo. After clicking Hatch, fill in the allele and
genotype percentages for generation 1. Repeat this process for 5 generations.
