Chapter 12.4, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The five conditions required for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to function.
Introduction:
“The genotype frequency” is the number of individuals in the population with a particular genotype divided by the total population. Hardy-Weinberg law states that the frequency of the alleles and the genotype remains constant from generation to generation provided the population is stable and in genetic equilibrium.
