High-Yield Explanation
Hardy Weinberg law: states that the genotype frequencies in a population remain constant or are in equilibrium from generation to generation unless specific disturbing influences are introduced. Genetic equilibrium (HW law) is a basic principle of population genetics; the entire principle is based on Mendelian genetics. Deviations in HW law: HW law fails to apply in: Non-random mating (assortative mating) New mutations Genetic drift Gene flow Natural selection (mortality selection, fecundity selection) Small populations migrations Dynamic populations. HW law assumes that human population is static, large and has random mating.
