Population Generation Hardy Weinberg Principle Allele Frequencies Change Large

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele frequencies remain constant across generations in a large population with no selection, random mating, no mutation, and no gene flow (emigration/immigration).

- the allele frequencies in a population will not change from generation to generation if - the population is large - there is no selection pressure - mating is random - there is no mutation in the gene so no new alleles form - there is no emigration/immigration

- the population is large
- there is no selection pressure
- mating is random
- there is no mutation in the gene so no new alleles form
