Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that in a population genotype and allele frequencies do not change even after several generations in absence of some evolutionary factor like mutation or migration. According to it, p + q = 1 and p2+ 2pq + q2 = 1 where,
p = frequency of dominant allele
q= frequency of recessive allele
p2= frequency of homozygous dominant genotype
2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype
q2= frequency of recessive genotype
