Week 15 discussion Answer

I became interested on the Hardy-Weinberg principle so I decided to look further about it. So this is what I got: The Hardy-Weinberg law is an algebraic equation that describes a population’s genetic equilibrium. It can be used by medical geneticists to calculate the likelihood of human matings producing faulty offspring. The rule can also be used to determine whether a population’s number of deleterious mutations is increasing as a result of radiation from industrial processes, medical methods, and fallout.
