General Outline

1. Hardy-Weinberg principle and allele frequencies
   1. Calculating Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with PTC tasting (Quantitative Reasoning, Integration of Knowledge)
   2. Illustration of population genetics and when Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not met using simulator (Population Genetics Simulation of Alleles)→ alteration in allele frequencies as a definition of evolution (Quantitative Reasoning, Evolution, Science & Society, Integration of Knowledge, Simulation/Modeling)
2. Final quiz
