Evolution of Populations: Genetic Drift, Natural Selection, and Mutations

Evolution of Populations: Genetic Drift, Natural Selection, and Mutations

The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium formula is used by population geneticists to calculate if a population is evolving (changing its gene frequencies over generations), or at equilibrium. In this simulation you can experiment with population size, natural selection, and mutations to examine their affects on the gene frequencies of the A and B alleles.
