Definitions:

Genetic Equilibrium

Theoretical state in which an allele’s frequency never changes in a population’s gene pool.

Random Mating

A breeding pattern in which all individuals within a population have an equal opportunity to mate with each other, regardless of their genetic traits.

Directional Selection

A natural selection process by which one extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that phenotype.

Antibiotic Resistance

The ability of microorganisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics, often due to genetic changes.
