What is the Hardy–Weinberg principle related to?

  • Number theory

  • Differential equations

  • Population genetics

  • Quantum physics

Answer

The Hardy–Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, is a principle in population genetics. It states that if a population is large, randomly mating, and not subject to evolutionary forces (such as mutation, migration, genetic drift, and natural selection), allele frequencies in the population will remain constant over time.
