Hardy-Weinberg law
- It states that, “Genes and genotype frequencies in a Mandelian population remain constant generation after generation if there is no selection, mutation, migration or random drift.”
- The frequencies of three genotypes for a locus with two alleles say A and a, will remain constant at p2AA , 2pq Aa and q2aa, where p and q are the frequencies of alleles A and a, respectively.
- The illustration of hardy-Weinberg law can be done in following ways,
- Random union of gametes
- Random mating among genotypes
