About Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant across generations in a population when five conditions are met: no mutation, random mating, no natural selection, infinitely large population, and no gene flow.

In practice, no real population perfectly meets all conditions, but the principle serves as a null model. Deviations from HW equilibrium indicate that evolutionary forces are acting on the population.

The chi-square test (genotype count mode) tests whether observed genotype frequencies significantly deviate from expected HW proportions. With df = 1 and α = 0.05, the critical value is 3.841.
