Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (model, theorem, or law) explained

The Hardy-Weinberg theorem characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving, and is thus the fundamental null model for population genetics. In population genetics, the Hardy–Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, model, theorem, or law, states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. These influences include genetic drift, mate choice, assortative mating, natural selection, sexual selection, mutation, gene flow, meiotic drive, genetic hitchhiking, population bottleneck, founder effect and inbreeding. #HardyWeinberg #GenotypicFrequencies #alleleFrequencies #populationGenetics #breeding #HardyWeinbergLaw #population #mutation #genotypes #HardyWeinbergEquilibrium #hardyWeinbergAssumptions #hardyWeinberg #Genetics #genotypeFrequencies #hardyWeinbergEquations #hardyWeinbergEquilibriumExplained #genotype #educational #basics #overview #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #apBiology #hardyweinbergProblems #AlleleFrequency #hardyWeinbergEquilibrium #genes
