The Hardy Weinberg equation is: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 Where p and q are the initial frequencies for the two alleles in question. This equation suggests that the three possible genotypes (homozygous p, heterozygous pq, and homozygous q) will reach a frequency equilibrium (i.e. stable frequency) in those proportions described above, if the following conditions are met: # Large population # No mutation # No selection# No emigration/immigration # Random mating In other words, evolution-- allelic frequency change within a population-- will not occur if the above 5 conditions are met.
