The Hardy-Weinberg principle is a foundational concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies in a population remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences. This principle is based on several key assumptions: 1. **Large Population Size**: The population must be large enough to prevent random fluctuations in allele frequencies (genetic drift). 2. **No Mutations**: There should be no new mutations that introduce new alleles into the population.
