Hardy-Weinberg Equation

The Hardy-Weinberg Equation is a mathematical formula used to predict the genetic variation and allele frequencies within a non-evolving population, assuming no mutation, selection, or migration.

Allele Frequency

The proportion of a specific allele (gene variant) at a given locus within a population, shown as either a fraction or a percentage.

Average Excess Fitness

The average contribution of an allele to the fitness of individuals in a population compared to individuals without the allele, affecting its frequency over generations.

Selection Effectiveness

The degree to which natural selection is able to influence the frequency of alleles in a population, impacting genetic diversity.
