BigIdea Investigation 2 S25 Evolution 1 INVESTIGATION 2 MATHEMATICAL MODELING: HARDY-WEINBERG* How can mathematical models be used to investigate the relationship between allele frequencies in populations of organisms and evolutionary change? ? BACKGROUND Evolution occurs in populations of organisms and involves variation in the population, heredity, and di!erential survival. One way to study evolution is to study how the frequency of alleles in a population changes from generation to generation. In other words, you can ask What are the inheritance patterns of alleles, not just from two parental organisms, but also in a population? You can then explore how allele frequencies change in populations and how these changes might predict what will happen to a population in
