Allelic frequency
prevalence of an allele in the population givenas a decimal or percentage

Evolution
change in allele frequency over time

whichgive rise to favourablecharacteristics becomeincreasinglycommon in
the population
HardyWeinbergprinciple
used to calculate allele frequency
predicts that allele frequency will not change between generations
assumptions population is large
no immigration or emigration is occurring
mating is random
not new mutations arise
no natural selection has occurred
if allele frequencychanged fromone generationto the next within a large
population then we know that mutation migration non randommating or
natural selection has taken place
