The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a foundational concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in a large, randomly mating population, provided that certain conditions are met. These conditions include no mutations, no gene flow, no genetic drift, random mating, and no natural selection. It serves as a null model to understand evolutionary processes and predict genetic variation in populations. Deviations from this principle can indicate the influence of evolutionary forces.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a bit like the "Punnett square for populations". A Punnett square can predict the probability of offspring's genotype based on parents' genotype, or the offsprings' genotype can be used to reveal the parents' genotype. The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used to calculate the frequency of particular alleles based on frequency diseases. This principle can determine useful but difficult-to-measure facts about a population.
No statements, but a few of the Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Random mating. No gene flow. No natural selection.
p is the value of an allele frequency.
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the frequency of alleles in a population will remain constant from generation to generation as long as equilibrium is maintained through random mating, no gene flow, no genetic drift, no natural selection, and no mutations.
One condition that must exist before the Hardy-Weinberg principle can be applied is a large population size to prevent genetic drift from significantly affecting allele frequencies.
Genetic equilibrium is a theoretical concept used to study the dymamics of single alleles in the population gene pool. In practice, there is no situation in which allele frequencies do not drift to some degree. Large populations may slow drift down, but there will still be drift.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that both allele and genotype frequencies in a population remain constant-that is, they are in equilibrium-from generation to generation unless specific disturbing influences are introduced. In practice, however, it is impossible to remove such disturbing influences thus making this principle purely theoretical.
