Why is the Hardy-Weinberg equation important?

Answer 1

Julian Aguilar

The equation is a model used to determine the allele and genotype amounts in a population.

According to the theory, evolution won't happen if a population satisfies specific requirements. These include:

The Hardy-Weinberg law describes the situation in which there is no evolution and the population is still in equilibrium.

P + Q = 1 #P^2# + 2PQ + #Q^2# =1 the equation also describes about the allelic frequecies.

Cooper Alexander

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is important because it provides a mathematical framework for understanding the genetic makeup of populations and predicting how allele frequencies will change over time in the absence of evolutionary forces.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
