Expert Solution
Step 1

Allele frequency shows the genetic diversity of a species in a population. Any alteration in allele frequency occur as a result of forces of evolution such as mutations, natural selection, gene flow and genetic drift.  Hardy-Weinberg principal in population genetics also referred as Hardy-Weinberg theorem, equilibrium or a model. It mainly state that genotype and allele frequencies in any population will stay constant from one generation to another in the absence of evolutionary effect such as genetic drift,mutation, natural selection and gene flow. Its equation is a mathematical equation that is used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium.
