The Hardy-Weinberg principle posits that in the absence of outside evolutionary forces, a population's alleles and genotype frequencies will remain constant. Biologists use this principle as the standard against which to test outside evolutionary forces on a population.
A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.
Please refer to the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacogenetics to give you a basic idea how genetics helps in the manufacture of drugs and understanding the drug response.
Population genetics deals with the genetics of large groups of individuals and the statistics/probability/inheritance patterns in those groups. On the whole this field of study does not manipulate genetic material and is not directly involved in breeding studies. One of the primary tenents of population genetics is that an allele will remain in a population at the same frequency as long as it is neither selected for or against. (The Hardy-Wienburg Principle).
Since genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes, genetics is the utmost importance in genetic engineering or any form of genetic technology. The knowledge of the genetics must be present for experiments to work.
Biometrical genetics is the science concerned with the inheritance of quantitative traits.
The population of DeCODE genetics is 480.
The population of SemBioSys Genetics is 20.

Genetics is important because it plays a key role in determining an individual’s physical traits, susceptibility to diseases, and response to treatments. Understanding genetics helps in predicting and preventing genetic disorders, as well as in developing personalized medicine for individuals based on their genetic makeup. It also aids in the study of evolution, population genetics, and the inheritance of traits across generations.

Microevolution can be studied by observing changes in the numbers and types of alleles, or genetics, in populations.
False. Nature refers to genetics, nurture refers to environmental conditions.
It can be difficult to definitively determine which disorders are not linked to genetics, as genetics can play a role in many health conditions. However, some conditions, such as some types of infectious diseases or certain environmental exposures, may not have a strong genetic component.
In population genetics and population ecology, population size (usually denoted N) is the number of individual organisms in a population.
Population genetics helps forensic scientists analyze DNA evidence by providing a statistical framework to determine the likelihood of a match between a sample and a suspect or a reference population. It allows for accurate identification of individuals and determination of relatedness in criminal cases. Understanding population genetics also helps in interpreting genetic diversity and ancestry to aid in investigations.
