Name the law that states that the sum of allelic frequencies in a population remains constant. What are the five factors that influence these values?
Hardy Weinberg Principle states that the sum of allelic frequencies in a population remains the same through generations. The total of allelic frequencies in a population is 1.
Frequency of allele A=p
Frequency of allele a=q
In a diploid individual,
Frequency of allele
Frequency of allele
Frequency of allele
This can be shown by the following equation which is derived from the algebraic identity
The extent of evolutionary change can be evaluated by measuring the difference between the measured values of these values from the expected value.
Following five factors influence these values:
