Hardy (1908; Figure 2) refuted such arguments in a paper that, along with an independently published paper by Weinberg (1908; Figure 3) laid the ... (the origin of new alleles) nor migration ...

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle describes the unchanging frequency of alleles and genotypes in a stable, idealized population. In this population we assume there is random mating and ...

For instance, mutations disrupt the equilibrium of allele frequencies by introducing new alleles into a population. Similarly, natural selection and nonrandom mating disrupt the Hardy-Weinberg ...
