This article is poorly written. It does not define the term and, for an article one would expect to sound complicated, seems too basic. This is better suited for Simple English Wikipedia. 14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC) 202.51.17.250 14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC) 14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC) 202.51.17.250 ~

Merge With Hardy--Weinberg
It's been suggested this article be merged with the one on Hardy--Weinberg Equilibrium, and I concurr.

I've just read a pile of stuff on Hardy--Weinberg in a text on genetics, and it appears genetics theory tends to discuss genetic equilibrium in terms of Hardy--Weinberg. Also, the article on Hardy--Weinberg is much better developed as well.

The merged article should be under Hardy-Weinberg as well.

 * No. Though the author of this article is very confused.  The Hardy-Weinberg principle applies in the absence of differential selection.  A genetic equilibrium, meaning that there is no evolution, however may be achieved in frequencies other than equalling expected H-W frequencies, e.g. by overdominance.  Also, subpopulation effects (Wahlund effect) are not considered.  There is also the case of fixation (resulting in selection-mutation balance).--I am not a dog (talk) 11:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
