What is the Hardy–Weinberg principle? Applying it to Practical Scenarios.

Today I’ll explain what the Hardy–Weinberg principle is. The concept of genetic equilibrium, also known as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, describes the idealized conditions in a population where the allele frequencies remain constant over time. It assumes that certain conditions are met, including a large population size, random mating, no mutation, no migration, no selection, and no genetic drift. However, in real populations, these conditions would be often not fully met, and various factors can lead to changes in allele frequencies and…
