Chapter 12.4, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
Todetermine:
The concept that makes Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium important.
Concept Introduction:
Hardy-Weinberg law stated that the frequencies of allele and gene cannot change from one generation to another. This law depends upon genotype and allele frequencies. Genotype frequency can be calculated by the number of individuals with their genotype that is divided by an entire number of populations.
