So What?So What?
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states The Hardy-Weinberg principle states an equilibrium of allele frequencies in an equilibrium of allele frequencies in a gene pool of a sexually reproducing a gene pool of a sexually reproducing population, population, pp22 + + 2pq2pq + + qq22, won’t , won’t change as long as certain conditions change as long as certain conditions are met. What are these conditions?are met. What are these conditions?
