Populaatiogeneettisten
Populaatiogeneettisten is a Finnish term that translates to "population genetics" in English. It is a field of study that examines the genetic variation within and between populations. This discipline investigates how evolutionary forces such as mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection influence the genetic makeup of populations over time.
The core of population genetics lies in understanding the allele frequencies – the relative proportions of different
Key concepts in population genetics include Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which describes a theoretical state where allele frequencies
Population genetics employs mathematical models and statistical analyses to study these phenomena. Researchers often collect genetic
