growth rate: The rate of change of population size over time. inbreeding: Breeding of closely related individuals, often with negative genetic consequences. incubated: Provided with a heat source ...

The Hardy-Weinberg theorem characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving, and is thus the fundamental null model for population genetics. Under the ...
