Studying how allele frequency changes in a population over time is difficult for a number of reasons, but particularly the amount of time it takes to observe the change. Computer models are useful because that can be constructed to behave like living systems so that we can test some of our hypotheses very quickly without having to wait for the natural pace of change in living systems. Today we will begin a modeling activity to study how genes change in a population under different conditions.

To get started you will need to follow the instructions in the lab manual to make the basic model simulating the random mating of a small population.
