Genetic Equilibrium

A condition in which the frequency of alleles in a population remains stable from generation to generation in the absence of disturbing factors.

Allele Frequencies

A measure of the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a genetic locus in a population, expressed as a proportion or a percentage.

Directional Selection
