In the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the actual number values of p and q will not change if five specific conditions are being met.

JulsSmile [24]

In the Hardy-Weinberg principle, the values of p and q will not change if evolution is not occurring.

<h3>What is the Hardy-Weinberg principle?</h3>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a model used in population genetics to estimate genotypic and allele frequencies in a population.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotypic frequencies remain constant in absence of evolutionary forces.

These evolutionary forces include nonrandom mating, gene drift, gene flow, mutation and natural selection.
