Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 4MC
Summary Introduction
Todetermine:
The reason that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium occur in real populations.
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 the population.
