Guppy Evolution Simulation: Causes of Evolution and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Guppy Evolution Simulation: Causes of Evolution and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. The law predicts that during random mating in a population that is undisturbed both genotype and allele frequencies will remain constant because they are in equilibrium. This simulation allows you to experiment with this principle in guppy populations.
