Hardy-Weinberg Principle

The video tutorial introduces population genetics, focusing on the calculation of genotypic and allelic frequencies within a population. It explains the Hardy-Weinberg principle, which states that allelic and genotypic frequencies remain constant in a large, randomly mating population free from mutation, migration, and natural selection. The tutorial also discusses factors that cause deviations from this equilibrium, such as mutations and genetic drift, and explores different types of natural selection, including stabilizing, directional, and disruptive selection.
