Hardy-Weinberg law
a law stating the expected allele frequencies from one generation to the next under a set of specific conditions that preclude allele frequency changes ...
Hardy-Weinberg law A rule which relates the frequencies of genotypes at a locus in a population to the frequencies of the alleles at that locus.
Hardy-Weinberg law: Law that states that the frequencies of genotypes in a population at a locus are determined by random mating and allele frequency.
The Hardy-Weinberg Law
This law states an equilibrium of allele frequencies in a gene pool (using a formula p2 + 2pq + q2) remains in effect in each succeeding generation of a sexually reproducing population if five conditions are met.
Hardy-Weinberg Law -- the concept that both gene frequencies and genotype frequencies will remain constant from generation to generation in an infinitely large, interbreeding population in which mating is at random and there is no selection, ...
1903 Walter Sutton hypothesizes that chromosomes, which segregate in a Mendelian fashion, are hereditary units[9] 1905 William Bateson coins the term "genetics" in a letter to Adam Sedgwick[10] and at a meeting in 1906[11] 1908 Hardy-Weinberg law ...
Under Hardy-Weinberg conditions, genes that have no present selective value will nonetheless be retained.
When the Hardy-Weinberg Law Fails to Apply ...
