A Misconception About the Hardy-Weinberg Law.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Jun 2021

Stark Alan E

Abstract excerpt

The Hardy-Weinberg law of population genetics is usually associated with the notion of random mating of parents. A numerical example for a triallelic autosomal locus shows that an uncountable set of mating combinations can maintain Hardy-Weinberg proportions. Therefore, one cannot infer random mating in a population from the observation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The mating system which ensures that the...
